Shop as the Florentines do. "The Civilized Shopper's Guide to Florence," by Louise Filli, will tell you where the natives go for the best clothing, accessories, jewelry, housewares, textiles, and other artisanal gems. More than seventy shops are reviewed in all. The book also has dozens of dining recommendations, with 37 venues--including restaurants, cafes, gelaterias and wine bars--listed. Whenever we go to Florence, it seems inundated with tourists, and shops that cater specifically to them. This book is a must-have for those who want a more authentic experience in the city.
