There is a vast array of stuff to choose from, lovely leather goods, silk ties, all kinds of clothing and keen competition. The food markets are nearby as is San Lorenzo basilica, the Medici Riccardi palace, the Accademia and San Marco. A brilliant quarter of the city. More

We also found great, fresh vegetables for our take home apartment on the Piazza Signoria. Once we established ourselves with one of the local butchers, we were extremely satisfied with not... More
