Here you get to enjoy the fine art that is offered by these craftsmen from Italy. Additionally, this craft exhibition lasts for about 10 days, giving you the much needed time to do research and observe what you like. It also adds a good taste to the city of Florence making it more attractive.

It was known as the 82nd Art International Handcrafts Trade Fair, and many people traveled from different places just to be a part of this fair.
