Goldsmith's shop on Ponte Vecchio - Florence

Goldsmith

Artisan goldsmiths shop: Make her remember the day and the place

I usually don't buy those cheap-trash touristy souveniers which can be seen in all touristic destrinations all over the world. A plastic copy of gondola or some similar "souvenier" might attracted me for a second but not longer then that. I prefer to buy something more valuable, like artisan works for instance.

What to buy: What could be more appropriate as a souvenier from Firenze then a golden ring, bracelet or neck-chain made in the workshops of artisan goldsmiths at Ponte Vecchio. It is a kind of gift you'll remember for your liftime. Of course, the gold is not cheap in Firenze, but you live only once.

Bartolucci: Wooden toys Bartolucci Review

There is an fantastic shop in Via Condotta, called "Bartolucci", offering hand-made wooden toys of exceptional beauty. You just can't resist not entering into the shop, looking indide through the glass window isn't good enough. Here you'll find Pinocchio that you dreamed about. Another thing, do not hesitate because inside the shop you'll see kids from 7 to 77 years.

What to buy: Pinocchio of course.

What to pay: Does it metter if your dream comes truth.
