  • Since 1895 this has been the principal outlet for alabaster artisans without a shop of their own.

  • A plethora of wines, olive oils and local artisan products, including Aghiari lace, Monte San Savino ceramics and wrought iron.

  • Tacky souvenir shops line the Via S. Giovanni, selling medieval-style crossbows, swords and flails of varying degrees of realism. Most of them are small and very blunt, but some are fully functional.

  • Visit the shop of this local sculptor who creates original bronzes as well as replicas of works in the museum.

  • Fioretta Bacci works her giant looms at the back, turning out colourful, unique knitwear.

  • Come here for savings on clothes, shoes and accessories by names such as Armani, Gucci, St Laurent and Bottega Veneta. The outlet centre runs a shuttle bus from Florence (055 865 7775). The modern building is marked “café” and is 3 miles (5 km) off the main road.

  • This is the best café in the city, with home-baked cornetti (croissants) and outdoor tables.

  • Modern Italian houseware designs, with friendly staff.
