Leica-Store-Firenze
Good news for Leica fans in Italy: today, September 12th the new Leica Store Firenze opens its doors in Florence in the splendid setting of Vicolo dell’Oro, just a few steps away from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi museum and Palazzo Pitti. A space dedicated both to Leica lovers and photo enthusiasts, where it will be possible to experience all cameras and lenses that have made the “red dot” a legend. The Leica Store Firenze is not intended to be only a retail point, but also a place where photo enthusiasts will find photographic exhibitions, opportunities to meet some of the most significant contemporary photographers, photographic workshops and more.

To celebrate this new opening, on October 10, 2013 follow us on Leica Lab (www.lab.leica-camera.it) for full details.
