The Leather Guild The worldwide renown which Florentine leather enjoys today has it beginnings in the historic square of Piazza Santa Croce, home to the Franciscan church of Santa Croce, or Holy Cross.

The monks of Santa Croce lived an existence of prayer and manual labour, perfecting the arts of handworked book-binding, biblical calligraphy and leather gilding. The work of the Monks, together with Santa Croce's close proximity to the river Arno, made the Piazza the ideal location for the flourishing 15th-century leather tanneries. In fact many of the streets in the district still bear names such as Via dei Conciatori (Tanneries Lane) and Corso dei Tintori (Dyers Avenue).
