  Alessandro Dari
Via San Niccolò, 115r
In his atelier, Alessandro Dari, goldsmith (but also musician, poet, painter and sculptor) creates his matchless collections of jewelry with strong symbolic and esoteric overtones. Gotica, Chiese, Casteli, Corone, Musica, Sacralità, Giardini dell'anima are just a few of his collections, all reflecting the across-the-board passion for many forms of art and thought that he poures into his work. Inimitable jewels, hand-made by ancient methods and designed in daring forms that enclose a personal world vision.

  Stefano Bardini Museum
Via dei Renai, 50125 Firenze, Italia
1000 works of painting, sculpture (among the masterpieces: Charity by Tino da Camaino, the Virgin and Child by Donatello known as the “Madonna dei Cordai,” and Antonio del Pollaiolo’s Saint Michael Archangel), armor, ceramics, ancient furniture, musical instruments, and leather objects are on display at this museum in a fascinating new exhibition layout. The museum is named for the antiquarian and collector Stefano Bardini, who willed his entire collection and his majestic, eclectic-style home, which houses it, to the City of Florence in 1922. The Renaissance footwear section is especially interesting. Devoted to the “Fashion tours in Florence” the charming display “Small and precious fashion accessories over the centuries”

  Giancarlo Parri
Via de' Bardi 46
It is quite appropriate to call Giancarlo Parri a child of the trade. In 1956 after having served as an apprentice in some of the finest fashion ateliers in Florence, he officially began working with his mother Anna who founded the by now historic fashion house in 1936. Along with his wife, Vanna, and now their daughter, Simona, he creates entirely custom-made collections for women. Each garment is rigorously hand detailed and finished according to the old maxim that "you can tell the quality of a dress by looking on the inside." It is this care along with creativity and the ability to fulfill the customers' requirements that make for the unique styling and perfect fit which characterize all Parri clothes.
