This…read moremarket has the best priced plants in the center (€2 azaleas anyone???), and it's so beautiful to see the loggia next to the Piazza full of happy little flowers (and not-so-little japanese maples and even palm trees). There is a wide assortment of outdoors and indoor plants, as well as dry climate ones like cacti and aloes, and many varieties of live herbs (I had a nervous breakdown when had to choose which of the SEVEN types of oregano to buy... the six types of rosemary... my window can only fit so many). You've got crawlers and climbers, perennials and annuals, fancy orchids and 50 cent impatiens. Really almost everything you need is right here at very great prices, like the geranium of your dreams. Thankfully this market is only on Thursdays, otherwise my house would be a live-in jungle.

This shop is smaller, but it has a much warmer atmosphere. After looking around for a few minutes, the shop's manager, Riccardo, waved us over the back of the shop where he keeps his demonstration station. He gave us an impromptu show of how he creates the marbled paper using a time-honored technique of mixing water, pigments and some wallpaper paste. Despite the ease with which he arranged the pigments in the water-paste solution, Riccardo told us that the difficult part was recreating the same pattern time after time. His jovial attitude and genuine excitement for his hand-made art was extremely uplifting when Florence is being overrun by knock-off and mass-produced products. After the demonstration, my mom and I picked up a number of the marble paper products to give as gifts to friends, and Riccardo was happy to wrap everything nicely for us. My visit here really gave me a new-found appreciation for the marbled paper works.
