How very picturesque is this shot?

Just to the right of the church of San Miniato al Monte is this busy little shop, selling products produced (supposedly) by the monks of the Benedictine order for whom this church is home.

You may buy rosaries and other related religious jewelry items such as charms, some books, some inlaid marble items echoing the patterns of the church exterior.

You may also buy a range of skin care products and soaps–potions and lotions–as well as hand-painted ceramics bearing the name of the church, which are good for souvenirs as it will help you recall where you bought an item in years to come.

You may buy honeys and jams, vinegars and liqueurs.

Also some biscotti are available.

It’s a lovely way to end your visit to this remarkable place!
