Typical and Artisan Products

If, after having taken a look at the local wine and food specialities, you would like to purchase some directly from a farm, we recommend that you visit the pages of the "Filiera Corta" ("Short Supply Chain") project, realized by the Agenzia per lo Sviluppo Empolese Valdelsa (Agency for the Development of the Empolese Valdelsa) and dedicated to presenting the territory's agricultural businesses offering direct sales, or visit the section of the website of the Camera di Commercio di Firenze (Florence Chamber of Commerce) called "Compro in fattoria" ("I buy from the farm").

For those who would like to buy something made by the hands of skilled artisans, we suggest visiting the site created by Artex, "Centro per l'Artigianato Artistico e Tradizionale della Toscana" ("Centre for the Artistic and Traditional Craftsmanship of Tuscany"), paying special attention to the pages dedicated to the artisan itineraries for the province of Florence: those numbered 1 through 5 are located in the territory of the Empolese Valdelsa.

To consult the addresses of the ceramics businesses of Montelupo and of those that work with glass and crystal, visit the website of the "Consorzio Centrovetro" ("Glass Centre Consortium") or follow the link "Le aziende" ("The Businesses") at the site ceramicatoscana.it.

You can find the links to the above sited sites in the column to the right.
