Merchants in the City of Art

Work, Identity, and Change in a Florentine Neighborhood

Beschreibung

San Lorenzo, a neighborhood in the historic centre of Florence, and home to a market that has existed since before the Renaissance, is in transition. Globalization pressures-specifically international tourism and immigration-are forcing changes in the way vendors work, which in turn raises larger questions about identity.
