The ancient strongbox in a normal shop
Napapijri, a sportswear shop in Via Porta Rossa 2 red, on the corner of Via Calimaruzza, contains a largely unknown treasure: a magnificent strongbox fitted within the dividing wall. According to experts, this masterpiece of craftsmanship dates from the 15th or 16th century - only in a city like Florence could such an antique crop up in such an unlikely place. In effect, the strongbox is a combination of marvels: within the stone wall a small niche was hollowed, within which was set a small nail-studded wooden door.
