“Artigianato & Aperitivo”: Eight appointments of urban trekking in the Oltrarno. Themed outings in the neighborhood accompanied by an expert tour-guide at the discovery of the Florentine handicraft and of a truly authentic neighborhood. The charm of the Oltrarno, of its alleys, of its piazzas and its artisanal bottegas is the focus of this new initiative designed by Artex: “Artigianato & aperitivo” (Handicraft and Drinks).
From March until June, eight dates of urban trekking exploring one of the most authentic areas of Florence, the Oltrarno and visiting the Officina Creativa, the new space in the neighborhood entirely devoted to Florentine handicraft.
