A Piedi Nudi nel Parco

Duomo & Piazza della Signoria


With a name meaning 'Barefoot in the Park', this boutique specialising in high-end avant-garde fashion for women is hard to resist. So chic, it has a part-transparent floor exposing the building's ancient foundations below and a tiny bar serving aperitivi (from 6pm) while you shop. Find its equally funky men's store just around the corner on Via Santa Margherita.
