ISOR LAVORAZIONE ASTUCCI, Via Lambertesca, 11-13/r, 055 2382307

Stand and look at the lovely window displays at Isor Lavorazione Astucci on Via Lambertesca, 11-13/r. As an old company making watch hands, the entire structure was turned into a workshop that made old modeled boxes and window displays for jewelers. Situated in a beautiful palace which was restored to its 16th century origins, the workshop was transformed with touches of the Medieval style. But the floods of 1960 and the car bomb explosion on 27th May 1993 in Via dei Geogiofili led to complicated damages. The original beauty of the shop was enhanced with restoration work and its style adhering to its old architecture.
