Il Civaiolo was established in 1948, when Alfredo Poggesi together with his wife Dina decided to open a shop for the sale of warmers, oil lamps, earthenware pots and pans, chickpeas, beans, trabicycles, hay and fodder for horses. The old shop soon became a point of reference in the centre of Florence for the purchase of household items and above all ‘civaie’, or seeds and dried pulses. With time, the shop became a real bazaar, and today it is run by his son Stefano Poggesi together with his wife Silvia.
Il Civaiolo sells household goods, handicrafts, hardware, garden tools, haberdashery, wood, as well as spices, herbs, rice, flours and quality ‘civaie’.
