HANDS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS THAT GO
Beyond Words
Florence’s artists and craftsmen have a history of creating and working within their homeland, where they are continually inspired to keep alive old traditions which are often passed down from generation to generation. These traditions run deep in the cobblestone streets, through the elegant Florentine fashion houses and within the artisans’ workshops.
"He who works with his hands, his head and his heart is an artist"
