The history of SMN (Santa Maria Novella) can be traced back to the 13th century. At that time, it was a just cosmeceuticals shop specializing in cosmetics, daily necessities and medicines for the Medici family. The main products of the brand include skin care products and cosmetics refined from natural plants. The preparation process is also very rigorous, continuing the traditional process of monks.

The decoration and lighting in the shop create a strong retro atmosphere from the European palace. The clerk is very professional and will introduce different products to you. We recommend SMN marigold cream and rose water, which are its star products and worth buying!

Florence’s markets can be roughly divided into two types. One is the leather flea market often mentioned in tourism books. The market is open every day. The most famous markets are Piazza San Lorenzo and the municipal square where the reproduction of Statue of David is located. The market mainly sells leather and tourist souvenirs, but it often makes people feel that the goods quality is not enough. Therefore, we will not recommend it. The other is the second-hand antique market at weekends is worth visiting!

The weekend market in a month is different. You can arrange your trip according to the schedule. The Sunday market in the first week is open in the suburb of Fiesole Town, where you can also have a panoramic view for the whole city. The clothing market on Saturday and Sunday in the second week is held in Piazza Santo Spirito nearby the old bridge.

The weekend market in the third week is the largest, focusing on antique furniture and decoration. It is held in a small park outside Fortezza Da Basso in the downtown. The Sunday market in the fourth week is located in Piazza Dei Ciompi. It is not far from Florence Cathedral. Usually, several antique shops are open. You can stroll around it when passing by.
