In Summer 2019 they opened a small bar with kitchen called вЂBabaeвЂ™ in Via Santo Spirito. However an enterprising group of friends in Florence managed to think laterally and find a solution. It has closed our economies, locked us in our homes and prevented us from travelling. March 2021 вЂ“ Now 400 years later we are surrounded by вЂthe pandemicвЂ™ our very own 21st century plague. They are usually just to the left or right of the main entrance to a large building (palazzo), typically at about shoulder height.

Florence вЂ“ wine windows (buchette) can be found throughout the medieval city centre. The вЂbuchetteвЂ™ were useful in times of plague because wine could be bought in a socially distanced way. When the plague or black death arrived in Florence in the 1630s many people died and citizens stayed in their houses terrified of catching the disease that lurked in the streets below. As Signore Faglia says in the video below, they expected to list about 100 вЂ buchetteвЂ™ but in fact theyвЂ™ve unearthed more than 180. However in 2016 an enterprising local gentleman Matteo Faglia set up an association in Florence with the aim of listing and recording all the existing вЂbuchetteвЂ™ in the city.

In recent years many of these вЂbuchetteвЂ™ have been bricked up or painted over. Many of the aristocratic families that had вЂbuchetteвЂ™ in their palace walls are still important wines makers today including Antinori, Frescobaldi and Ricasoli. The wine was sold one bottle at a time, offered in a raffia covered вЂfiascoвЂ™ of the kind used by Chianti Ruffini until well into the 1970s. This wine cellar or вЂcantinaвЂ™ would be connected to the outside world via a tiny window вЂbuchettaвЂ™ that could be used for wine sales to passers by.

These houses would all have a wine cellar on the ground floor, or in the cellar, just to the left or right of the main entrance to the building. Each year after the grape harvest they would transport vast quantities of wine from their estates to their city homes. The wealthy families of Tuscany owned land and vineyards in the countryside and palaces in the city. The city was surrounded by walls and the gates to the city were closed at night. In renaissance times Florence was a densely populated city, the streets were narrow and the houses were built in heavily fortified, almost military style, with thick walls and huge imposing doors. These small doors or windows could be opened, on to the street, and used for the sale of wine from the wine cellar within. Typically these little doors are wooden, with a large bolt securing them from the inside of the building. They look like little fairy-tale entrances to huge, fortified buildings. These are little doors, found in the walls of grand palaces, all over the city centre.
