Artisans and the Palace

Event Dates

Artisans and the Palace, or Artigianato e Palazzo, is a three-day fair at Florence's Palazzo Corsini that displays work by traditional artisans from all over Europe.

During the fair the artisans prepare their stands as open-air workshops, where they demonstrate their skills in pottery, the making of straw hats and willow baskets, glass cutting, the techniques of restoring a tapestry or a precious piece of furniture, and more.

The great success of this exhibition is due to the fact that it is not just a fair or bazaar, but a continuous demonstration of the skills of each craftsman.

Guided tours of the garden are conducted throughout the three days and an open-air restaurant serves traditional Tuscan food, snacks and drinks. Related Information
