Passionate about fine modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, I searched throughout Florence for working artists and a gallery that could rightly shine amidst the Renaissance glories of Florence. The afternoon I spent with the Guarnieri brothers, Roberto and Rodolfo, will be forever etched among my life's great and genuine joys. They were most generous with their time, attention, spirit and interest in my own philosophy of art and life. Their work represents the essence of refined taste and whimsical perspective. The grand painting I now proudly hang in my home each day refreshes the insights, humility, cleverness and joy of my appreciation and respect for the Guarnieris and their artistry.

A workshop in the heart of Florence that continues the tradition of mosaics in hard stone, which dates from the Renaissance. An art gallery containing artefacts created entirely by the expert hands of the master craftsmen Renzo and Leonardo Scarpelli. The Scarpelli Bottega d'Arte is open to all visitors wanting look around the workbenches, where the mosaic artists patiently work at creating stone paintings.Catia, master craftsman Renzo's daughter, devotes herself to welcoming the customers and taking them on a guided tour of the laboratory so that they can discover the true value of the traditional "Florentine mosaic work".The art passion of Scarpelli's family became the job of its life.The Florentine mosaic work (commesso fiorentino or mosaico fiorentino) is a common heritage that should be preserved as a great treasure over the centuries.

If you’re touring Italy and looking to buy some art to remember your trip, this is an excellent place to consider. Sometimes it’s difficult to know whether or not you’re being ripped off or buying something of poor quality. Scarpelli is a reputable brand and high quality art.

Reviewed By GathererHunter - Menlo Park, United States
We came to the indoor market to eat lunch at Trattoria da Rocco, which was great! After our meal we walked through the indoor and outdoor markets, full of shops selling fresh meat, cheese, seafood, pasta, and produce. We bought some excellent fresh ravioli from Botteghina Dell’Agusta, and had a wonderful experience here. The ravioli of buffalo mozzarella and porcini mushrooms was fantastic and we fixed this for dinner the same day we purchased it. A very friendly lady helped us easily, between our mediocre Italian and her broken English, it was an easy transaction. Outside there was lots to walk through and around- a wonderful break from touristy Florence, and just far enough off the beaten path.

Fine luxury leather and fur made in Italy
Reviewed By MarkNelson1977
My wife and I were looking for a leather shop in Florence during our trip in September, and saw a beautiful coat on display at Dante/David2 Leather. We stopped in, and Mariam and Santo showed us beautiful jackets and coats, and knew sizes correctly just by looking at us. Franco came in while we were trying on different jackets, and offered some of the family wine as we shopped. The wine was delicious, the service impeccable, and the feeling of becoming part of the David2 family was incredible. We purchased three coats that Franco shipped to us so that we didn't have to worry about fitting them in our luggage, and also sent us two bottles of wine. We also reunited with Franco and members of his family at their trunk show in Denver, and had an incredible time enjoying a glass of wine and looking at more coats. Franco brought out a coat that looked and fit like it was custom made for my wife, and she fell in love with it. Needless to say, we bought the coat, and then Franco found two coats that were perfect for me that we purchased as well. I promised to bring them some American craft beer when we saw them, and was happy to be able to share it with them. Franco and one of his daughters enjoyed one of the beers, while I was able to enjoy a glass of the family wine. Franco also gifted me another two bottles of wine which I will enjoy with friends. Thank you Franco and family for the great coats, experience, and wine!!
