Artisans are the heart and soul of Florence. Giving us even more reason to appreciate them, there is now a charity project launched by the interior design company Riccardo Barthel, in which 121 works by 24 participating artisans will be sold in an online auction, the proceeds of which will be entirely donated to Careggi Hospital.

The auction will start at 10am on April 23 and end at 4pm on May 4, taking place online using the Pananti Auction House, who will not be applying commissions on the hammer price. Donations will be transferred directly to Careggi University Hospital.
