Province of Pistoia

Pistoia, a discreet yet charming city, preserves a sober and refined craftsmanship, tied to rural tradition, the mountains, and medieval spirituality. The province offers a varied landscape of workshops, from the villages of the Apennines to the fertile plain towards Florence.

One of the most representative fields is wrought iron and copper work. The artisans of the Pistoiese mountains still create today pots, lanterns, tools, and decorative objects using ancient techniques and local materials, with a rustic and durable style.

The city is also renowned for woodworking, particularly in the production of furniture, frames, and carvings of high quality, the result of a long family tradition dating back to the Renaissance.

In the Pistoia area there is also a historic presence of ceramists and decorators, as well as a contemporary rediscovery of artisanal luthiery, with workshops that build custom-made musical instruments for enthusiasts and professionals.

Pistoia’s craftsmanship is a perfect synthesis of ancient knowledge and attention to detail, reflecting the cultural depth and reserved nature of this fascinating corner of Tuscany.
