On a recent trip to Florence I was on the look-out for art stores and art supplies-- both as…read morenecessity and to compare to art stores in the United States. Although Bati is a small store, and combination art/hardware/& hobby shop, it had just what I needed. Bati's owner spoke English & was so nice and helpful that I wished I had needed more supplies. He stocks acrylics, oil and watercolor supplies for the serious as well as amateur artist. I bought a pack of Daler-Rowney watercolor postcards that I had forgotten to pack before departure from the US. I painted my way through Florence, Venice & Tuscany. FYI: the Italian postal service is rather slow for delivery to the US. As each card arrived I was reminded of "my" little art store on Via Verdi Giuseppe. An added bonus was that Bati was not far from Santa Croce and our airbnb on Via dei Neri.

This shop is smaller, but it has a much warmer atmosphere. After looking around for a few minutes, the shop's manager, Riccardo, waved us over the back of the shop where he keeps his demonstration station. He gave us an impromptu show of how he creates the marbled paper using a time-honored technique of mixing water, pigments and some wallpaper paste. Despite the ease with which he arranged the pigments in the water-paste solution, Riccardo told us that the difficult part was recreating the same pattern time after time. His jovial attitude and genuine excitement for his hand-made art was extremely uplifting when Florence is being overrun by knock-off and mass-produced products. After the demonstration, my mom and I picked up a number of the marble paper products to give as gifts to friends, and Riccardo was happy to wrap everything nicely for us. My visit here really gave me a new-found appreciation for the marbled paper works.
