From our Florentine archives, a spiral thermometer crafted by the master glassblowers of the Medici court and inspired by the 17th-century instruments designed by Accademia del Cimento. More than a scientific device, it traces the extremes of nature, a delicate expression of artistry, curiosity, and Florentine ingenuity.

Since 1221, Florence has been home to Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. Born as the convent pharmacy of Dominican friars, it is regarded as the world’s oldest, continuously active in its historic premises. The neogothic counter shown here, carved in walnut in 1848, is part of the restoration that shaped the historic central hall, a project still preserved in the archives of Santa Maria Novella church.

In Florence, roses aren’t just symbols – they grow in the soil of history.
The Dominican friars of Santa Maria Novella grew them in quiet gardens, where beauty meant power and scent spoke louder than words.
Centuries of heritage later, they’re still here.
Still blooming. Still echoing through time.
