Staff

The story:
It was 1986 when, after two years of study and research, it was decided to open a mountain bookshop in Florence: a real gamble.
After just over a year, the first location was too small, also given the strong demand from customers to expand the sector to tourism and sailing, the bookshop moved and remained in the new location until 2013.
After that date, sales continued online.

In March 2024, the business was taken over by Metello Borchi
