M) custom-made dresses and traditional fragrances Fashion and culture itinerary in Florence

This is a fashion atelier and a design gallery with an incredible atmosphere created by the unmistakable style of the collections that are scattered about in apparent disarray and the furnishings, objects, unique design items that come together in a distinctive artistic dimension. Daytime and cocktail dresses, evening gowns, suits, and coats with almost futuristic lines and striking accessories are displayed along with the fabrics that clients can select for their unique – and also custom-made – clothes. The Giulia Carla Cecchi atelier also uses the clients’ old used furs to create unique “derivative” items. The atelier carries on and transforms the business founded by Giulia Carla in the 1930, and thanks to her daughter, Pola, the new creations have found a perfect setting in the art gallery scenario (from Studio Most founded by Pola’s late brother, the architect Marzio Cecchi).

The beautiful green and white marble facade was completed by Alberti around 1470. Inside the church there are many masterpieces such as the Trinity by Masaccio, the "crucifixes" by Giotto and Brunelleschi and in the transept, the lively Renaissance frescoes by Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi.

Founded officially in 1612 (although actually dating back to 1221 at the arrival of the Dominican friars in Florence), the Officina is one of the world's oldest pharmacies. Its halls showcase a vast range of preparations and products, including perfumes, essences, soaps, unguents, spirits, balsams, colognes, aromatic vinegars, and liqueurs, all still made in accordance with the ancient formulas. But that's not all: the beautifully frescoed rooms of the Officina are a veritable museum of original furnishings and the ancient tools of the pharmaceutical trade.
