What are Wine Windows?

Wine windows, or “buchette del vino” in Italian, are small arch-shaped openings located on the facades of some historic buildings in Florence. These windows date back to the 16th century and were originally used by wine producers to sell wine directly to customers without opening a shop, thus avoiding taxes. During the plague epidemic of 1630-1633, they also served as a useful anti-contagion tool for the sale of wine.

In recent years, some of these wine windows have been restored and reopened, allowing curious travelers to experience a piece of Florence’s history. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they made a comeback as a way to safely sell wine, just as they did centuries ago.

Mark’s expert use of perspective and detail captures the essence of the wine window, making this photograph a timeless piece for any art collection. The image not only showcases the architectural beauty of the window but also captures the vibrant life and history of Florence.
