A Florentine invention that spread to other cities of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, wine windows performed their role for five centuries. The buchetta, as called in Florence, represents an absolutely unique quirk in local society and after years of study and research it has earned its place in this book published by the Association Buchette del Vino, containing the most recent data and theories. Born to allow noble Florentine families to sell their wine from their urban palazzo, the windows developed with varying fortunes over time, always confirming that direct sale from producer to consumer was a guarantee of quality and value for money. And, of course, their recent revival in times of pandemic for their implicit anti-contagion characteristics, stirring interest and admiration worldwide The Association Buchette del Vino was founded in Florence, in October 2015, with the aim of surveying, studying, documenting, making known, and safeguarding a heritage widespread across Tuscany. A completely original testimony of how Florentine families who cultivated vines in the countryside sold the wine they produced directly to consumers of every social order through these very particular architectural artifacts. The census is still in progress and currently lists about two hundred and eighty windows. The association shares its research on a website and two social media profiles, presenting discoveries and actions like studies, meetings, guided tours, video tour production, buchette hunts, and more.
