Meet the craftsmen in the Tuscan hamlets
Discovering the artist’s workshops: the art and taste craftsmanship in Tuscany
The link between Tuscany and craftsmanship has ancient origins. Today, in Tuscany, craftsmanship is still a value, as well as a very strong tradition. On this tour, you will see the most authentic sides of the Tuscan territory, meeting the craftsmen at work in their small workshops, like the ramaio (copper worker), the artists who process wrough-iron, mosaic, and terracotta, and the local craftsmen of taste, ranging from wine to salami, cheeses, and pastries. You will discover the working techniques and the stories of the Valdichiana Senese’s craftsmen.
