To experience the city like a true Florentine, a walk among the stalls of the Sant’Ambrogio Market is an unmissable stop on your trip to Florence. The Sant’Ambrogio market has a history spanning 150 years and is still the market of the Florentines today.
Among fruit, vegetables, meat and fish what you can really breathe is the scent of an authentic reality made up of people, habits and great quality. We will taste some typical products of Tuscan culinary culture and discover some simple recipes that with the right ingredients you will then be able to make independently at home.
The Flea market in Florence
A short distance away is the flea market, also a piece of the city’s history, which a few years ago saw the construction of a new headquarters within the neighborhood. Browsing through the antiques at the flea market is always a discovery. Paintings, clothing, design objects, prints and books, it is a journey through time that we will take at a slow pace without rushing.
Sant’Ambrogio market
Sant’Ambrogio is also a neighborhood where the artistic component is central, from the marvelous church with precious Renaissance works of art to the numerous artisan workshops where young artists use techniques linked to the tradition of Tuscan craftsmanship. We will visit two artisan workshops together, meeting the masters who will be happy to share the secrets of their craft with us with an on-site demonstration of their art.
