Florence to make room for new artisan workshop

It has been reported that SAM will be located in the Oltrarno, where Florence's artisan trades have been practiced for centuries.

According to the Florentine, SAM will be a "vast multifunctional centre dedicated to Florence's high-quality artisan crafts".

It will also feature "public gardens and space for temporary exhibitions and conferences on the artisan trades".

The centre is set to open on April 21st and will house sculptures, painters, engravers, blacksmiths and many more craftspeople.

Tuscany is classic Italy and its largest cities are home to some of the country's most prized art and historical relics, while future greats could be found at SAM.
