Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
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.

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.
