The Florence Files: Extant examples of 16thC Clothing of Florence and Tuscany.
Recreating 16th Century Florentine and Tuscan  Clothing and Lifestyle







Florence Files
Compiled by La Signora Onorata Katerina da Brescia.

I have been fortunate to view some extant items in person, purchase some books, accessed some via interlibrary loans and been forwarded other examples to compile here. Hopefully this will grow, as I access more pictures I can put up.
