Turning into Borgo San Frediano, a long street, the heart of the neighborhood that if it could, would tell myriad stories, of wisdom and strength, handmade excellence and tradition. Here, there seems to be just one watchword: crafts. Some names of artisans who are worth a trip to San Frediano? Antico Setificio Fiorentino, silk makers, on Via Lorenzo Bartolini. Established in the mid-17th century, and a symbol of the neighborhood, the artisans use handlooms to recreate fabric patterns from the Historical Archives that include rare Renaissance damasks, brocades, lampas and filaticci. Here we are, looking incredulously at Piazza del Carmine, recently pedestrianized, displayed in all its majesty. Before us is the unfinished facade of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine. Next to that is a door that gives access to the visionary miracle of Cappella Brancacci. No, we’re not exaggerating. The frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel are a true miracle of art for all time. The cycle of frescoes tell stories of St. Peter, preceded, on the entrance jambs by Original Sin and the Expulsion of Adam and Eve: a true representation of pathos and humanity. We go out. Piazza del Carmine is one of the few places in the historic center of Florence where you can still breathe an authentic local atmosphere. A deeply religious and artistic area, in recent decades it has had the more contemporary soul of a city that bases every experience on excellence. In matters of taste and cooking, we have the right addresses. For a dinner in the true Florentine tradition (including dialect) the Trattoria Sabatino is the right place for you, just outside the Porta San Frediano. One of the best steaks in Florence? At the Antico Ristoro dei Cambi on Via Sant’Onofrio. One of the temples of cuisine in Oltrarno and Florence? Nestled in Piazza Cestello, Cestello Firenze. On Via Pisana, Fuor d’Acqua, undisputed reference point for seafood. More maritime flavors at Il Pescatore in more information is here..
