I first met Signor Umberto way back in 1973 during one of my first trips to Firenze. I remember a young energetic man in his mid-thirties, totally committed to his craft. Over the course of the following decades I visited Umberto’s cavern on numerous occasions...More

Good italian brands seller

The shop is quite nice and the selection of premium Italian leather brands is quite large (I would even say the largest in Florence in my case). But the staff of the shop really likes to surround its goods with "mythology". An old man working...More
