Art Tours of Florence and Tuscany

Artisan Quarter Tour

Behind-the-scenes visits to working 'bottegas' in the old artisan district of Florence allow you see a non-touristy side of Florence which leaves a lasting impression and reveals the creative fabric of this renaissance city of the arts.

Direct contact with the artisans, who are always happy to explain their working processes, help you to learn and understand the beauty of these traditional crafts. Awe-inspiring examples of 'pietre dure' or hard stone inlay, gilding, decorative painting and silverbeating can be admired in the museums of Florence. Your personal tour of the artisan quarter can add greatly to your appreciation of the works in the museums, and the talent of the contemporary masters. For people who are seeking a direct contact with an artisan to commission work, or to buy directly from the producer are encouraged to speak to the artisans directly.

We are artisans running a studio of decorative arts in Florence. It is a love for what we do that inspired us to offer this tour to all who share our own fascination with artistic craft. Our long standing contacts with in the artisan community enable us to show you selected workshops that are truly interesting and inspiring.
