Farmacia Franchi

Farmacia Franchi

The pharmacy is located on the corner between Via dei Ginori and Via Guelfa, formerly known as "Canto alle Macine", in the same area where Boccaccio set his tale about naive Calandrino. An inscription in golden letters against a black background above the door leading to the back room, recalls the pharmacy's old name and the year of its foundation: "Antica farmacia al Canto alle Macine founded in 1427".

The furnishings, presumably dating early 20th century, consist of a set of wooden shelves and cabinets with double glass doors on the walls, and a counter whose front side is decorated with pilasters.

In addition to traditional health remedies, the main products on sale are homeopathic, herbal and cosmetic preparations.
