  • The summer of craftsmanship: the symbolic creations of the season

It’s time to travel

After a year of hard work, it’s time to explore new places and enjoy some well-deserved rest. In Tuscany, however, local artisans don’t rest at all even during summer, continuing to realise essential masterpieces for your holidays. Let’s discover together the Valdichiana Senese‘s summer craftsmanship.

Ceramic souvenirs

The art of ceramic in Valdichiana Senese boasts a thousand-year passed down tradition. Walking through the little alleys of our towns, it’s not rare to find finely decorated and brightly coloured tableware, furniture and other kitchen utensils in which little houses, cypresses and steep streets are the main protagonists. Such products lend themselves perfectly as souvenirs to take home. If you’re willing to discover this magic world, you can do it by yourself thanks to our handicraft workshop.

Leather bags and suitcases 

Leather also enjoys a certain prestige in Tuscany and in Valdichiana Senese. Products such as bags, suitcases and wallets with a unique and essential design are indispensable for a holiday of quality. In Valdichiana Senese you will meet skilled craftsmen who despite the passage of time and the advent of synthetic materials do not lose sight of their goal: make leather a work of art.

Wooden frames

Flexible and versatile material, wood has always been linked to the rural reality of the Valdichiana Senese. Today that tradition relives on in the workshops of local artisans, dedicated to making furniture, musical instruments, toys and much more. Not only that, in Valdichiana Senese our creatives dedicate themselves and their time to the production of wooden frames, perfect for framing the unforgettable memories of your stay.

These are just a few suggestions; load up on inspiration in local artisan workshops, to be discovered in summer  and throughout the year.
