🕰️✨ A secret of silk that defied time in Florence
Hidden near Porta San Frediano lies one of Florence’s most extraordinary treasures: the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a workshop where silk has been woven by hand for centuries.
Founded in 1786 (but active since the 1600s!), it’s one of the few places in the world that still uses original wooden looms and even a warp machine designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
From brocades once reserved for the Medici to damasks destined for royal courts, every thread tells a story of art, mastery, and tradition — preserved through generations of Florentine artisans.
💛 A living heritage of beauty and craftsmanship still thriving in the heart of Florence.
👉 You can book a guided tour and discover this textile secret yourself on their official website: www.anticosetificiofiorentino.com

November 4, 1966 — the day of l’Alluvione. Florence remembers.
That morning, the Arno overflowed and the city was swallowed by water and mud. Yet Florence did not surrender.
From that devastation rose something extraordinary: a community united by courage and love, and by the “Mud Angels” who came from all over the world to save not only masterpieces and churches, but the soul of Florence itself.
From the terraces of Antica Torre Tornabuoni, we look over a city that was reborn from the water — stronger, prouder, and forever grateful.
Because l’Alluvione was not only a tragedy; it was a lesson in humanity, resilience, and the power of solidarity.
💙 Florence does not forget.
