  • The History of Wine Doors

    Have you ever wondered why there are so many wine doors in Florence? Or why you can't find them in Florence?


    In this episode I share the history of these wine doors, Buchette del Vino, thanks to this amazing book by Diletta Corsini & Lucrezia Giordano.


    So many cool insights I didn't even know about.


    Enjoy!
