Piazza De' Pitti
15 min
Join us on a journey to explore one of Florence's most charming and authentic neighborhoods, Oltrarno. Meaning "beyond the Arno," this district lies south of the river, across from the historic center and the bustling Duomo. Even on the busiest summer days, Oltrarno’s streets remain refreshingly tranquil, offering a glimpse into the genuine Florentine lifestyle.
Oltrarno is undeniably one of the most picturesque and characteristic quarters of Florence. Known for its vibrant artisan culture, this district is home to traditional workshops and talented artists working in delightful studios.
Historically, Oltrarno was a hub for merchants traveling through Florence on their way to Rome. Its transformation began in the 15th century when the Pitti family built the iconic Palazzo Pitti, attracting noble families, including the Medici, who made it their residence in 1550. This is where we will start the walk.

Piazza Santo Spirito

The walk will immerse you in Oltrarno's artisanal spirit. Strolling through its quaint streets, you'll pass boutique shops, antique stores, and our favorite treasures, small artisan workshops where age, old techniques come alive. Our first stop is at a boutique that exemplifies Italian craftsmanship, specializing in decorative paper. Here, you’ll discover the centuries-old techniques of paper marbling and woodcutting, which date back to the 17th century. These handmade creations are a testament to Florence’s enduring artistic legacy.

Next, we’ll visit a family-run studio renowned for their traditional etchings. Explore an exquisite collection of landscapes, cityscapes, flora, and fauna, with a special focus on Florence’s iconic vistas. Created using 16th-century techniques, these finely crafted engravings range from whimsical postcards to stunning art pieces, perfect for any art enthusiast. Each time you admire your "Ponte Vecchio" engraving, you’ll be transported back to Florence.

Santo Spirito / San Frediano

No visit to Florence is complete without delving into its love affair with leather. This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, supported by abundant Tuscan cattle and the vital Arno River. By the 13th century, leatherworkers organized into guilds that safeguarded their trade secrets and fostered innovation. At this stop, Roberta, the owner of a family-run leather business, will teach you how to distinguish authentic leather from imitations and share the story behind this timeless craft.

Indulge then in another Florentine specialty: gelato. Visit a local gelateria and experience this deliciously crafted treat that has been perfected over centuries. Did you know that gelato gained fame during the Medici era and is often linked to their patronage?!

As the sun sets, we’ll cross the river, taking in the stunning views of Ponte Vecchio, and arrive at the final destination: the iconic wine window. Learn about its historical significance during the plague and raise a toast with a glass of wine, just as the Florentines did in medieval times.
For those eager to know more about Florence & its fact, you can extend your walk with us with the Florence by Night tour with Aperitivo which starts right after this itinerary.
