Artisan left bank, off the tour map
Oltrarno
The artisan left bank where Florence still works in leather, gold leaf and natural wine, far from the crowds.
The left bank of the Arno is where Florence still makes things by hand: leather ateliers, gilding studios, and frame-makers working behind unmarked doors, just as they have for centuries. For the Istanbul visitor who tires of the cruise-group current around the Uffizi, this is the city's quieter, more credible self, anchored by a generation of serious wine bars and design-led guesthouses. You cross one bridge and the volume drops by half.
Highlights
Leather and gilding workshops Design-led B&Bs Real wine-bar culture Hidden artisan courtyards Calm after the bridges
