Loggia del Mercato Nuovo - Mercato del Porcellino
A charming leather market, where you can find authentic artisan leather goods and local crafts. It is famous for its bronze wild boar fountain where visitors place a coin in its mouth for good luck, and if it falls through the grate below, legend says you’ll return to Florence.

This is a hidden gem mostly known by the locals rather than the tourists.
