Established by centuries-old Florentine families long connected to the arts of Florence, the site offers both armchair and on-the-road travelers global access to authentic, high-quality leather goods, marbled paper products, fashion accessorise, art glass and ceramics, and books or interactive CDs on Italian art, culture, and history.

Weekend a Firenze also offers an exclusive service not available elsewhere -- on-line reservations to Florence's most popular museums, including the Uffizi. Weekend a Firenze is also the hub for other on-line services, including commercial Web hosting and design services for major Italian enterprises, and a chain of cyber-cafes offering convenient Internet access to Italian citizens and travelers alike.
