Handed through the generations, Andreini,
the stone and terra cotta shop takes you
back into the past. Come to Borgo degli
Albizi, 63/r, and visit a unique store
where you will find the noble family of
Altoviti who had actually manufactured
the bricks made in the old brickyards
at Troghi (Rignano sull'Arno),that were
used for the old buildings since 1861.
Located on 18 Borgo degli Albizi at the
Altoviti Palace, the company had acquired
the accolade and award for its products
at the Florence Exhibition. Established
in the middle of the 19th century, the
store is owned now by Emilio Bartoli,
a relation of the family. Wander through
its fascinating history arrayed in a variety
of products, such as, stone and terra
cotta sculptures of angels, the Virgin
Mary and a wide display that showcase
different styles and colors. |
