"Florence" Theme (a rare find)
This is not just a chess game but an artistic creation made up of 32 pieces made mainly with marble dust from the quarries of Carrara.
The pieces are flattened and retouched one by one before being aged and hand-painted by master craftsmen, the entire process takes place in Italy in the province of Lucca.
This chess set faithfully represents the city of Florence and His works of art created by degrees artists who were born or lived in Tuscany, in the board you can see the faithful reproductions of the David di Donatello, Botticelli's Venus of the bell tower Giotto etc. etc. After trying to recreate as closely as possible these works of art in the city, we hand paint them to be able to differentiate the two sides of the board.

Note: May be missing checker pieces & dice? I am not sure what when into the empty slots in the red chess piece holder.
