As one of the art capitals of the world, it is no surprise that Florence would continue to inspire a new generation of artists. You can find some of this amazing talent at Tabesce, where handblown glass and accessories are made by two local, female artists. You can also find items for your home for a more than reasonable price. When you are looking for something truly special to commemorate your Florence experience, they have some excellent earrings available for you to try on and decide if you like them. Feel free to ask about the contemporary art scene here--these girls know what they are doing.
