In the heart of the old town of Santa Croce in Florence, where every stone is steeped in history, there is a small detail that is often overlooked: an iron dog's head hook protruding from an ancient stone wall. At first glance, it looks like a strange decoration, but in fact it is an "anello per legare i cavalli" - a horse-tying ring, an indispensable part of the daily life of ancient Florentines.

When we look down at such a horse-tying ring, we are not just looking at an object, but listening to a part of history whispering, lightly touching the breath of an ancient Florence that is still somewhere around here.
