Artisans and the Palace, or Artigianato ed Palazzo, is a fair held every year in Florence, which displays the arts and crafts of traditional artisans from all over Italy and Europe in the beautiful gardens of the Palazzo Corsini, this year from the 18th to the 20th of May.

During the fair the artisans prepare their stands as open-air workshops, where they demonstrate their skills in pottery, the making of straw hats and willow baskets, glass cutting, the various techniques of restoring a tapestry or a precious piece of furniture, and more. The great success of this exhibition is due to the fact that it is not just a fair or bazaar, but a continuous demonstration of the skills of each craftsman.

Guided tours of the garden are conducted throughout the two days and an open-air restaurant serves traditional Tuscan food, snacks and drinks from morning to sunset.
