Botteghe e Dimore is not just a traveling market, it is a group of Italian Artisans and Artists who offer their products from the many different regions of Italy directly on the market-squares of the Italian cities.

Re-evaluating the figure of the craftsman and precious "handmade" products as a an expression of quality is the goal of these 3.0 craftsmen who evidence the strong social relevance of craftsmanship of the "bottega" workshops, a place where secrets and knowledge of trade are transmitted to the new generations and where a refined sense of beauty can be developed through manual skills.

In the Christmas period the artisans are in Lucca at a unique high quality market, proposing special gifts with particular guests in two central places of the city representing historic market locations: the loggia of Palazzo Pretorio overlooking the central Piazza San Michele and in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, one of the most popular squares of the city.

Two events on different dates and locations, to allow several types of visitors to appreciate craftsmanship.

Raku ceramic buttons, bags made with tires and inner tubes, refined Murano glass jewels, shabby chic and restored furnishing objects with old newspapers, vintage engravings and pretty hats entirely crocheted with high craftsmanship techniques are just some of the unique objects for sale.

For the occasion, the artisans offer a selection of precious original artifacts made of different materials with accuracy and creativity, using also recycled materials for refined garments and trendy accessories.

Where: loggia of the Praetorian Palace, Piazza San Michele and Piazza Anfiteatro
When: December
