Leaving Florence might seem challenging, but it's also an opportunity to cherish unforgettable memories. To make this farewell a bit sweeter, we've created a special itinerary that will guide you through unique and captivating spots, allowing you to fully experience your final moments in this enchanting city.
The itinerary begins with an unmissable stop at Il Cantuccio di San Lorenzo, where the tradition of Florentine pastry comes to life. Admire the artisanal craftsmanship in the preparation of cantucci through the shop windows, made unique by the abundance of high-quality ingredients. If you want to stock up on sweet treats, this is the perfect time and place.
Cantuccio di San Lorenzo welcomes its guests daily from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
The itinerary continues with a visit to Ivana's Forno Canapa, a hidden gem just a few steps from Florence's central market. Founded by the remarkable 92-year-old Ivana Bruschi, the bakery is renowned for its schiacciate and warm coccoli available at all hours.
Forno Canapa welcomes all its customers from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM.
As we continue on our way back, we come across Marco Salumi e Formaggi, a gem in the central market of San Lorenzo in Florence. Since 1985, this family-run shop has been enchanting visitors with its exceptional Tuscan pecorino cheeses and cured meats. The welcoming atmosphere and dedication to tradition make every visit an unforgettable experience. Best of all, they ship their products worldwide for those who prefer not to carry them on a plane!
Marco's Deli welcomes its customers every day from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is closed on Sundays.
As we continue our journey, we discover the Casa del Vino, an authentic tavern without a kitchen since 1890. Founded by Gianni Migliorini's grandfather, it offers highly sought-after natural wines and unique sandwiches with Chianti cold cuts and cold tripe. This hidden gem near the San Lorenzo Market is deeply rooted in Florentine tradition.
Casa del Vino welcomes its guests from Monday to Thursday, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. On Fridays, the hours are extended until 10:00 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, Casa del Vino remains closed.
Among the final stops, Trecentesco Fiorentino is a must-see. Here, the 93-year-old master Luciano Caglieri transforms ingots into delicate gold leaves. His workshop, located in an old sacristy, is a journey back in time where Florentine art comes to life. If you want to take home an authentic piece of Florentine craftsmanship, you simply cannot miss this place.
Trecentesco Fiorentino welcomes its guests from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM. On Saturdays, it is open from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM. It is closed on Sundays, but during Easter and other holidays, Trecentesco Fiorentino is pleased to open its doors.
Our journey back could not have ended on a better note than with a visit to Alice Mask workshop. Founded over 40 years ago by Alice and Agostino Dessi, award-winning artisans recognized worldwide, this is where the art of handmade masks comes to life. It is with the magic of Florence and its fantastic artisans that this itinerary concludes, with the hope that you will return soon to a city that still has so much more to show the world.
Alice Mask welcomes her guests from Monday to Saturday, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
