Inside Manifattura’s Caveau: a factory told through its objects

Manifattura Tabacchi’s Caveau preserves machinery, window and door frames, and objects recovered from the factory. It is a visit for those interested in industrial Florence and in understanding a building through what remains inside it.

The official calendar lists free visits by reservation through 20 December 2026. The next advertised sessions are on 22 October at 6:30pm and on 24 and 25 October at 10:30am and noon; meet at the monumental entrance at Via delle Cascine 35.

Choose a session from the official calendar: published dates do not guarantee available places. Before booking, check language, duration and accessibility. We suggest studying one object and imagining the working gesture it required: a tangible way to see the neighbourhood’s spaces differently.
