Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Antique Stores
Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

This was a stop which Luca, our guide with Ciao Tours Vancouver, made. We had seen and heard about micromosaics but didn't understand exactly how they were made. Luca explained how they were made and while in the store/workshop had the opportunity to watch an artisian on a project. Both my wife and I really enjoyed and marvelled at the craftmanship as well as subject matter. Several pieces were landscapes which showed Blue skies with white clouds so very realistic you couldn't tell where the pieces of the individual stone met. Some of the pieces may take 7 or 8 months to make which doesn't include sourcing the stones for the pieces. I would have like to buy one but the 3 x 3 artwork in a frame was 450 Euro's. These artworks are for the ages not one person - passed on to famly.
