Fast forward to today — a crossroads of rich history, renaissance culture, and faith. Famously known for its handmade leather goods, you can watch artisans create leather bags, shoes, and coats. Try a traditional Florentine Beefsteak in one of the neighborhood’s local trattorias. Or stroll through narrow streets to find antique shops and vintage boutiques. Every turn promises an encounter with art, from Donatello's sculptures to Giotto's frescoes. On summer nights, locals gather outside the Basilica of Santa Croce to play guitar, sip wine, and catch up with friends. Pour a glass of chianti (or two) and enjoy everything Florence has to offer.
