ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

I am an authentic Florentine who deeply loves this city and who is proud to introduce and admire the great cultural and artisan tradition of Florence.
For twenty years I have been teaching the Italian language and culture to American university students using the city as a "natural laboratory”.

On this walk, we will meet some of the artisan masters who continue to preserve the great and old Florentine traditions. We will be strolling through the historic streets of Florence and stopping for good coffee, a tasty gelato or a savoury "coccolo".

We will visit "workshops" where you can feel the charm and the tradition of unique arts such as the Florentine mosaic lab, metal and the rare art of wax casting, the original art prints, the colorful world of an incredible goldsmith and discover more of "hidden" Florence and its rich history.

ABOUT THEMENU

During our leisurely walk, you will get to visit at least two craftsmen of Florence.
Some examples:
- Meet a master mosaic craftsman who still uses the ancient technique of the "Florentine Commesso" of the 1500's.
- Visit the workshop of a skilled goldsmith who will share his works of art.
- Find an artist in his bottega of "aquaforte" (etching), he creates exclusive objects, pieces of art, with soul and passion.
- Discover the rare art of cast bronze wax casting.

You will also get the chance to taste:
- Authentic Italian coffee
- Gelato from a traditional gelato shop
- "Coccolo" - a salty fritter made with bread dough and usually eaten with salami and fresh cheese.

At the end of the tour, you will be treated to an informal dinner.

*Dinner is included in the tour, purchases (food, coffeee, etc...) during walk is at own expense.
