30 maggio 2027
Sunday, June 7th is the final day of SALE Sant’Ambrogio in Festival and brings the Festival outdoors, transforming Piazza dei Ciompi into a large collective space dedicated to encounter, conviviality, and participation.
The heart of the day is “Sant’Ambrogio a Tavola”: a long shared table that this year will feature some of the most important Tuscan trattorias, called to jointly create a choral moment dedicated to the city.
Throughout the day, Piazza dei Ciompi will host activities, performances, and moments for everyone: workshops for families and children, reading spaces, music, interviews, installations, up to one final shared moment—the final closing solo concert by Mille, followed by a live DJ set by Dj Hugolini, and Dj Biga!
A truly unmissable appointment: the FREE solo concert by MILLE, with her strong artistic identity and winner of the Critics’ Award at the Musicultura Festival in 2021 with the song “La Radio” (and with a new single coming out on May 14). Truly not to be missed!

In the garden of Linfa Jewelry Studio, an intimate and curated photographic set will be installed, where each participant will be portrayed using a medium-format analog camera. The slow, careful process enhances presence and authenticity. Images will be developed by Rollbox, a film development project in the heart of Florence.

No reservation required.
Pantagruel Association
Handmade Dolls and Artisan Products from the Sollicciano Women’s Prison
From 4:00 PM
These wool and fabric dolls are created through a process that is never random or merely technical: each stage of their creation, as well as the sequence of the different phases, reflects the evolutionary development of the main stages of human growth.
The doll is therefore not just a toy, but the very image of the human being itself. For this reason, special care is given to the finishing details and durability of each piece, and restoration is encouraged so that the dolls may last over time instead of being replaced.
Pantagruel Association will be present with a sales desk featuring dolls and other handmade products created in the internal and external workshops of the Sollicciano women’s prison.
HU Openair and La Palagina Social Farm

🏡 The Insect Hotel — build a shelter for wild insects and discover why they are essential to the ecosystem
An open-air afternoon in one of Florence’s most beautiful squares — a chance to slow down, get your hands dirty, and remember how wonderful it is to be outside.
