About Us

Here in the historic center, within the old walls and narrow streets, at Via San Giovanni 41/A you will find our shop, 150 square meters of perfectly restored old cellars, with an infinity of items ranging from artistic ceramics to terracotta, wooden trays, wooden boards with reproductions of sacred images, terracotta masks of various sizes and much more, all products of wonderful and renowned Tuscan craftsmanship.

Our business was founded in the late 60s/early 70s by Tito and Maria Grazia, brother and sister, and has since been handed down to us, Giacomo, Michele and Roberta. Initially, it was a sales business for agriculture and livestock, then later over the years it moved to hunting and fishing until today when, with the ever-increasing development of tourism, it decided to dedicate itself to the search for typically artisanal products from our areas. All products are made by small local producers, mostly family-run, who put all their knowledge and passion into providing us with the products you will find in our shop.

Many of these items can be viewed and purchased directly on our website.

Lost among the green and rolling hills of the Val d'Elsa in the heart of Tuscany, the land of Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Botticelli, the cradle of medieval architecture, stands San Gimignano, a splendid town with impressive towers preserved over centuries and still intact today. A beautiful city, reaching its artistic peak during the Renaissance, surrounded by verdant vineyards, olive trees, and cypresses. Also famous for its good wine called "Vernaccia," a white and sparkling wine mentioned by many poets and artists; for example, in one of his works, the young Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1643 sings thus:

“To the noble, high, and turreted land
Of beautiful San Gimignano we made our way…
… Vernaccia

That they give to drink to anyone who arrives there
That kisses, licks, bites, stings, and pricks”
