Those who know and love Florence appreciate that the city’s beauty lies in the generations of creativity and ingenuity that shaped the squares and streets we enjoy today. Beyond the picture-perfect views or must-see museums are the workshops of the many artisans that are the living soul of the city. Whether it’s woodwork, leather, metal, paper, textiles or perfumes that lift your spirit, the hands at work to form them deserve your time and attention.
Wandering past the windows of these workshops, you may often have felt tempted to step in and learn more. This is your invitation to take that chance, opening the door to their worlds of wonder, getting to know their personal stories and seeing the beauty that they bring to all who pass their way.
Your guide, Dante Alighieri, ambassador of authenticity and a universal symbol of Florence, helps you rediscover this heritage, supporting a way of life, a community, and an identity. It means choosing a conscious, respectful kind of tourism, filled with genuine encounters and surprising discoveries, far from the usual beaten paths.
