Pistoia, capital of culture in 2017, is a art city of great value but famed in Europe above all for the production of its nurseries that export ornamental plants all over the world. Pistoia is also a very interesting artistic destination (we only mention Piazza del Duomo, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, the splendid Pisano Pulpit and the highly prized Della Robbia frieze), but it is also very important from a gastronomic point of view.  The visitor must not miss the visit of the splendid Piazza della Sala. It is a square that is located in the beating heart of the city and where there are still the old shops of the past. It is a pedestrian area that allows the visitor to take a dip in the past and to still find typical cold cuts and cheeses, firstling of vegetables and fruit and the Tuscan truffle. At the end of the guided tour, stop in an old confectionery that has been producing its dragees and chocolate with artisan care for almost a century and small tasting.
