SANTA MARIA NOVELLA | The first stage of existence of the “Officina” can be traced back to the 1221 when the Domenican friars, arriving in Florence, built their monastery just outside the city gate. Shortly afterwards they began to study and experiment the properties of officinal herbs grown in their gardens next to the monastery. The preparations obtained in this way ( medicaments, balms and ointments) were at first intended for the monastery’s small infirmary, used to keep the friars and other members of the community in good health.

"I have been buying colognes at this establishment for a couple of years now. The store owner and staff ate very friendly and welcoming. The proprietor always makes great recommendations but he has never pushed me to buy anything. This store also sales an incredible selection of teas and candles. Highly recommend this store."
