In 1561, the apothecary Domenico di Vincenzo Brunetti, a member of the Physicians and Pharmacists Guild, moved his shop to these premises, which had previously housed another “spezieria”, managed by the Benedictine Sisters of San Niccolò.
The SS. Annunziata pharmacy was specialized in galenic formulations and remedies for skin care and beauty.
The 17th-century furnishings of the sales area consist of three display cases made of dark wood with gold decorations. The counter has been severely damaged during the flood of 1966.
The pharmaceutical equipment, mainly dating from the 19th century, includes twelve jars from the Ginori manufactory. Although ancient tradition is still preserved, today the pharmacy owners work with modern technologies and new ingredients for preparations.
