Florence: Caffe San Marco

This traditional cafe and pasticceria is on the corner of Piazza San Marco, opposite the wonderful Convent of San Marco. A fabulous collection of internally-lit script signs. You can toggle the caption bar on and off by clicking on the image.

We found a lot of these in Florence, mostly polished to gleaming standard on a regular basis. I admire the variety of design approaches taken to such a humble artefact. You can toggle the caption bar on and off by clicking on the image.

Florence: Apothecary

My wife found the Apothecary San Marco for me. It is just round the corner from the church and museum of San Marco, home of many wonderful Fra Angelico paintings. The Apothecary (no longer in use) faces onto the Via Camillo Cavour, which is a very busy thoroughfare with very narrow pavements, so take care if you go to take your own photographs.
