The charity auction of the artisans of Florence in support of the city and the whole of Italy committed to the fight against COVID-19

At a time of serious difficulty for our country and the whole world involved in the fight against COVID-19, the artisans of Florence, on the initiative of Riccardo Barthel & C., have created the project L'artigianato fiorentino per l'Italia: a charity auction for the city and the whole of Italy. The 115 creations of the twenty participating artisans will be the subject of an online auction, the proceeds of which will be donated entirely to the Careggi University Hospital, the city's main garrison involved in the health emergency.
