In 16th Century Florence
a grand artisan experience developed which is
at the base of the great art
works of the Renaissance. In the history of humanity no other period has
produced masterpieces of equal beauty and proportions.
The architecture, the sculpture, the painting of the
16th Century represent an unrepeatable phenomenon of quality and genius, but
the craft made traditioncreated at the Court of the Medici and in the industrious
Florence of the Cinquecento is still alive in the artisan "botteghe",
or workshops, today.
The excellence of the objects to be found in DUCCI's elegant
frescoed-ceiling store, on the banks of the River Arno and only a few
steps away from Florence's shopping Mecca,
Via Tornabuoni, is not casual.
It is the fruit of years of passionate research and study of traditional Italian and Tuscan artisan production by a well-known
Architect and Interior Designer, Nicola Gandini. Behind the scenes, Gandini's fine eye selects DUCCI's contents,
piece by crafted piece, traditional or innovative.
He looks most especially for he unmistakable mark of creative genius, of
high quality materials, and incomparable manual workmanship, making
DUCCI a "must" in Florence for both their new and aficionado
clientele.
