Overview

We begin the tour with a visit to the Minerva Library, to discover stories of ancient books, prints and drawings in the antiques market, for collectors and enthusiasts. Then we move to the Antica Salumeria Franchin Enrico with its over a hundred-year history made up of traditions and continuous updating.
We will reach Prato della Valle where a sensory journey with spices awaits us at Drogheria Preti in an extremely colourful and ancient-looking space. Finally we return to the historic centre for a visit to the Zaggia Jewelery workshop, in the Galleria Duomo, to discover the secrets of the goldsmith's trade and then finish with a delicious conclusion at the Racca Pastry Shop founded in 1933 and which under the guidance of the Zaghetto family 1992 developed the Couture Racca Chocolate artisan chocolate line.
The shops visited may vary depending on the opening day and the availability of the artisans to welcome guests.
