In the heart of Florence, Piazza della Signoria has been the city’s political and commercial hub for centuries, as well as a key center for Florence’s historic craftsmanship.Here, you can still see the "Braccio Fiorentino," the unit of measurement used by medieval fabric merchants, carved into stone to ensure fair and uniform transactions. A tangible reminder of the precision and rigor that made Florentine textile arts renowned worldwide.Next to the square stands Palazzo della Lana, a historic building tied to the ancient Wool Guild, one of Florence’s most powerful corporations, which controlled the production and trade of fine textiles across Europe.A symbolic place that tells the story of Florence’s glorious past in arts and craftsmanship.

Fontana del Porcellino

The Loggia del Porcellino is one of Florence’s liveliest spots, home to the historic Mercato Nuovo, where silk and precious goods were once traded. Today, amidst stalls selling leather goods and souvenirs, you can still sense the vibrant atmosphere of Florence’s ancient marketplace.At the center of the loggia stands the famous Porcellino statue, a bronze fountain said to bring good luck—just rub its snout and let a coin fall through the grate below.In the past, Florentine merchants who failed to repay their debts were brought here and forced to sit on the "pietra dello scandalo" (the stone of shame), enduring public humiliation. Their pants were even lowered—a custom that gave rise to the Italian expression "rimanere in mutande" (literally, "to be left in underwear"), still used today to signify financial loss.A fascinating corner of Florence, rich in history, superstition, and artisanal traditions.

Customer Responsibility

Showing Up Late
If you or a member of your party shows up late and are consequently not able to participate you will still be responsible for the full amount of the Tour, Activity, or Excursion.

No Shows
If you, or a member of your party, do not show up for your Tour, Activity, or Excursion you will be responsible for the full amount of reservation.

Unsatisfactory Activity Experience
If you experience an issue of any sort with a Tour, Activity, or Excursion you have booked via Cool Shore Excursions, immediately bring this to the attention of the Tour, Activity, or Excursion’s operator. Make your concerns and complaints heard with the person in charge so that you may reach an agreeable solution immediately. Do not wait until you return from your vacation. If, for some reason, you feel a partial or full refund is merited, you must make this known on the same day of your Tour or Excursion.
