Moleria Locchi Glass Experience

Step into a realm of rare artistry with Moleria Locchi, Florence’s renowned crystal etching atelier with a legacy spanning over a century. In the charming San Frediano district, you’ll find one of Italy’s last remaining workshops dedicated to the ancient art of glass grinding, carving, and etching. This exclusive DFTL experience grants you rare access to a world few ever see.  

The Locchi family has perfected this art since the 19th century, once crafting for the Grand Duke of Tuscany. From restoring Murano glass chandeliers to reviving treasured heirlooms, their precision and skill have made them legends in the world of glass craftsmanship.  

As part of this exclusive DFTL experience, your payment will be donated to the Place of Wonders Foundation, an initiative by the Babini family dedicated to safeguarding Italy’s artisanal legacy. The Foundation will fund scholarships, initiatives, and learning opportunities for Italian students, ensuring the continuation of these time-honored traditions. Through this foundation, your visit supports master craftsmen and ensures that the skills and traditions of Italian artistry are preserved for future generations. This is your chance to connect deeply with Italian heritage, witness artistry in its purest form, and contribute to the cultural soul of Italy.
