You only need to cross Ponte Vecchio to find the Oltrarno neighbourhood, a welcoming and charming place where the magnificent past coexists with the creative vitality of today's Florentines.
You will admire the art of living in Florence, rich in beauty and humanity, in its eateries, shops, and especially in the many artisan workshops. You will meet the carpenters and restorers who preserve ancient techniques in their laboratories, which open onto the road. You will discover squares populated by stalls and will stop to peek into gardens hidden behind doors.
You will walk along quiet streets with outdoor tables laid with 'sciocco' bread (without salt) and Chianti wine. It will be an unbelievable tour, but it is all real.
