160824_161318_0556 Vale Toskana Leather Fashion

Piazza di Santa Croce, Firenze, Toscana, Italia

This is a pretty ordinary shot; why is it in this gallery? Mainly because you will never see this place again, and it's therefore a capture of something which once was, and never will be again.

Obviously, this is another case of shopkeepers welcoming potential customers, most likely tourists, into their store. Both the man outside and the woman inside seem to have quite friendly expressions.

Unfortunately, friendliness wasn't enough. I tried to find some information on this store, but I couldn't find any. The reason became obvious when I looked at Google Maps; somewhere between August 2017 and July 2018, Toskana Leather Fashion disappeared and was replaced by Cellini Gold, a jewellery store. (There are plenty of those in the piazza as well, but you don't want to know what sort of prices are involved.)

Sense of nostalgia satisfied, we must now move on.
