Just behind the Duomo, on the narrow street Via
dello Studio, is a noticeably short building at no. 33, with a wide glass window and doorway. Look inside at La Bottega dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, the light-filled workshopwhere features of the Duomo and Baptistry are maintained and restored: an
old statue being reproduced, mosaic borders and tracery windows being
repaired. A few steps away at no 19 is the wonderful art supply shop Zecchi. Firenze, March 2014
