Macro Experiments with Italian Tedora Charms


Il Porcellino charm - rub the boar's snout to ensure a return to Firenze


A bunch of grapes to celebrate the vineyards of Tuscanny


A beautiful Murano glass charm


The original fountain figure was sculpted by Baroque master Pietro Tacca

Murano glass is a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano


Tuscanny is a wine region that gives some of the most important reds in the world


Put a coin in the boar's jaw w/ the intent to let it fall through the grates below for good luck!


Il Porcellino - "piglet" - is the Florentine nickname for the tourist must see!
