Your private experience begins with a guided walk through the historic center of Florence, where your guide will introduce the city’s history, art and daily life. Along the way, you will visit a selection of traditional artisan workshops, each representing a different Florentine craft passed down through generations.

The first visit introduces commesso fiorentino, a Renaissance Florentine technique that uses marble and semi precious stones to create mosaic images with a painterly effect. You will learn how carefully cut stone pieces are assembled with extraordinary precision to create decorative works that reflect Florence’s long artistic tradition.

The tour then continues into the world of Florentine goldsmithing, exploring the history of this ancient craft, its symbols, and its deep connection to the city’s cultural and economic past. You will gain insight into traditional techniques that are still in use today.
A short pause during the tour allows you to enjoy a glass of local wine in a historic setting, offering a relaxed moment to absorb the Florentine atmosphere.

The experience concludes with a visit to a traditional artisan workshop where you will attend a live demonstration of paper marbling, an ancient decorative technique that creates unique patterns by transferring floating colors onto paper.
