I Fiaccherai (Horse carriage driver)

The term “fiaccheraio” refers to the driver of a horsedrawn carriage, The Florentine term “fiacchere” comes from the French word “fiacre”, meaning carriage. In earlier days, when Florence was not yet equipped for motorized public transport, it was the main way of transportation in the city.
Taking part in a carriage tour today, truly brings back the charm of those days.
