The true essence of Florence lies not only in its artistic evidence, but also in some more people's and ordinary activities. Indeed, not only in the past but today too, Tuscany is renowned for the high quality of its famous artisans and the works they realize. Besides the many artistic attraction Florence can offer you, there's a part of it, not far from the city center, that keeps this tradition alive. In small, authentic and sometimes ancient and generational ateliers, few artisans are working hard to bring back to the top the Florentine crafts quality, synonym of refinement and awareness.

The left side of the Arno still displays the signs of this ancient attitude that characterized the city, and with this photo tour we invite you to discover them all and capture with your own camera these old handmade traditions.
