Wine Windows of Florence

Buchette di Vino or wine windows are famous around Florence. They are little windows that have been used for hundreds of years to sell wine in a fiasco (glass bottle) without having to open a shop and avoid paying taxes. These wine windows also were used to sell wine during the epidemic of 1630-1633, without direct contact between client and seller during the Bubonic Plague. And more recently, during the days of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. When restaurants, bars, and gelateria began reusing these ancient buchette del vino to sell their products, just like 400 years ago.
