We were SCAMMED BY ALESSIO in October 2015 : Purchased a…read morelarge "David" statue -$1648.00 , to include shipping and insurance, arraigned to have it sent later so we would be home in Texas to receive it. Before we got back we were notified of third final attempted delivery. We had to travel to SanAntonio to get it , (50 miles), upon opening the package we discovered it was Shattered! We notified Alessio and were told to "be patient" it would take time to process the paperwork, then we noticed the package had been MISLABELED as a 33 lb. "Vase" and only insured for $1000.00 ( the Statue weighed upwards of 70 lbs. ). Now after months of calls and e-mails, Lies and Stories - We have NOTHING ! That LIAR ALESSIO has played deaf and dumb - ignores calls and e-mails, resisting all attempts to settle our claim. We are fed up with the run around and excuses we've been put through. DONT SHOP HERE !!! Find an honest place to patronize. We are returning to Florence and we are going to visit crooked Alessio in person !!! BUYERS BEWARE !!! DISHONEST SHOPKEEPER !!!

I had been searching all over Italy for a true cameo artist to have a memento from our "Grand Tour" - there are not many true artists left as many people souvenir shops sell plastic cameos. In Florence we found a little shop on a side street just off of the Ponte Vecchio where Antonio carves classic cameos and personalized jewelry. We also saw an entire shell that Antonio was working on and decided this would be something very special to remember our trip. This is better than any souvenir. Our piece of Cameo art is something that we will cherish forever. Thank you Antonio!

Wandering through the streets of Monteriggioni I happened upon this shop on the main thoroughfare…read more Outside were a variety of items to catch your attention, one of which were professional photo's, matted and ready to frame. I have found purchasing these photographs is an inexpensive way to remember our travels and decorate the apartment. Many of the photographic subjects were beautiful landscapes in Tuscany, Val d'orcia, Monteriggioni and I even found one of the duomo in Firenze! After making my photo selections I wandered inside and found a large collection of gift items from book marks and key chains to T-shirts. All at very reasonable prices. The gentleman who assisted me was very helpful, polite and speaks English. There are many shops in this little village. The difference I found here is a nice variety of small gifts at prices that won't 'break the bank'.

Gift Shop #5 represented the artist from my old plates. We ordered 8 new place settings, all a slightly different pattern for mix & match. Roberto waited until I returned home and sent photos of my existing place settings, then he had the artist make 8 more different but coordinating patterned place settings. Hubby also picked out a couple of fun platters at the store run by Roberto's mother. All off the ceramics arrived today in perfect condition. The packaging was incredible with expanding foam, bubble wrap, and lots of tape. The shipping cost was less than we expected for 40+ pounds shipped internationally in a week. We are so pleased that we found the perfect match for our existing dishes, and so happy to have everything arrive in perfect condition. Now time to plan my next dinner party!
