Florence to be discovered: the Open Days of Manifattura Tabacchi

On September 18 and 19, we organized two Open Days at Manifattura Tabacchi, an event dedicated to travel and hospitality professionals.

Enhancing the lesser-known corners of Florence is one of the Foundation’s main goals, and during these two days of Open Days, in collaboration with Manifattura Tabacchi, we offered industry professionals a unique opportunity to discover what this evocative place has to offer for its guests.

The event, dedicated to Florentine hoteliers and tour operators, was met with great interest, with the enthusiastic participation of many experts from the hospitality and travel world. In the presence of Councillor for Tourism, Jacopo Vicini, and led by Michelangelo Giombini, Head of Product Development and CEO, and Roberta Pasinetti, Head of Project & Construction Management, participants explored the handcrafted and design marvels that characterize Manifattura Tabacchi.

During the visit, we discovered the various craft and design activities that make the Manifattura unique, and visited usually inaccessible places such as the B3 vault and the impressive Botanical Workshop. This itinerary offered insights into an out-of-the-box tourist experience, thus enhancing the unique identity of the Florentine territory.

Manifattura Tabacchi is definitely a destination to recommend to those visitors looking for anoriginal experience off the beaten path. A must-see for those who want to experience Florence with a fresh look, combining history, craftsmanship and innovation.
