Stories about pottery and ancient San Gimignano

In the 16th century The Spezieria di Santa Fina was opened (today part of the Archeological Museum of San Gimignano), an old chemist shop, with ointments and medicines kept in pharmacy pots.

Since then, many things have changed and in many cases terracotta has been substituted by pottery and the pharmacy pots embellished with more and more ornamental and elaborate hand-painted designs.
