The 10 Best Shopping in Oltrarno, Tuscany
Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

This store is a find. For the quality and workmanship you get, the prices are very reasonable. I bought 2 pair of leather gloves that were butter soft. Gorgeous. You won't be sorry if you buy anything from here. The goods in the leather markets are often not local and not real leather. Caveat Emptor!

Passionate about fine modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, I searched throughout Florence for working artists and a gallery that could rightly shine amidst the Renaissance glories of Florence. The afternoon I spent with the Guarnieri brothers, Roberto and Rodolfo, will be forever etched among my life's great and genuine joys. They were most generous with their time, attention, spirit and interest in my own philosophy of art and life. Their work represents the essence of refined taste and whimsical perspective. The grand painting I now proudly hang in my home each day refreshes the insights, humility, cleverness and joy of my appreciation and respect for the Guarnieris and their artistry.

I purchased gloves here six years ago and was happy to be able to be in Florence to purchase some more. These are the best quality and selection. I love the colours and my favourite style is the cashmere lined ones.

CASINI FIRENZE was Giorgio Tattanelli’s first store. He started his career as a leather artisan. The family leather production began just after the war in 1945 as a small artisan business hand making bags, wallets and attache cases using only a small group of local expert Florentine craftsmen.Giorgio with his intuitive entrepreneurial side started visiting all the trade fairs around Europe as well as successfully launching his family leather creations in military bases.

We visited Casini Firenze by Jennifer Tattanelli on February 15th during our recent visit to Florence. I was not shopping for anything in particular, just browsing. One of the JT's stylists, Sabine, spent about an hour with me suggesting pieces that she thought would flatter my figure. I ended up walking out with 2 dresses, pants, blouse, and two jackets. I will cherish each of these beautiful pieces and am sad that Sabine lives so far away and I can't visit with her and have her style me more frequently. THANK YOU SABINE!! Best, Michelle

Le Telerie Toscane is an amazing little shop across the street from the Pitti Palace in Florence Italy. It is located on a alley way inaccessible to autos but an easy walk from a street drop off. Once inside one will be amazed and delighted at the range of linens for kitchen, table coverings etc. These are all made in Italy and of very high quality. I was looking for kitchen towels....my favorite things to buy in Europe are the 'country made' linens of where I am. Giulia is a delightful lady who had owned this shop for 18 years. Most of these linens are truly works of art. I bought 4 dish towels.....huge by American standards @ E12.50/each. They are gorgeous and machine washable and very fairly priced for what you are buying. The website is wonderful but doesn't do enough justice to the pieces inside shop. Thank you Giulia for having beautiful, fairly priced linens and a useful gift/souvenir from Firenze.
