Drogheria Toso

Nothing has changed since 1906, from the shelves with their ivory coloured wooden drawers up to the ceiling, to the various wonders that can be found here and are sold nowhere else.

The large wooden drawers contain oxides for decorators, green and red clay, and talc. Only here can you still find ostrich feather dusters and horsehair brooms.

The smell that pierces the nostrils is the scent of spices: cloves, lemon grass, mustard seeds and Marseilles soap, everything loose and sold by weight.

Founded in 1906 by Vittorio Toso, the store is now run by the Kosmina family, who proudly carry on the tradition that makes them unique in this city and elsewhere.
