Farmacia del Cinghiale

Very helpful pharmacist! We had a good laugh together as my husband and I were looking for cologne but our language barriers made it sound like he had a “colon” problem! 😆 We worked it out and did indeed leave with a fantastic cologne! Grazie mille!

Bought sun screen here. Was already higher prices for the same brand than other stores. Paid with card and before I could react on the question on currency the cashier clicked my home currency instead of euro, and therefore making my purchase more than 4% more expensive and increasing their common

The best pharmacy in Florence. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. We needed a green pass and they were very nice and helped us out. Grazie mille 🙏🏼

Great service with an english soeaking pharmacist. She was able to help me with cold/flu stuff

The first official records mentioning the pharmacy date back to 1752; however, it is believed to have been there earlier than that. The first documented pharmacist working at the Farmacia del Cinghiale, Florentine doctor Girolamo Nicolò Branchi della Torre, prepared its own remedies in the laboratory of the pharmacy. He was credited with making chemical experiments that marked the passage from the magic of alchemy to the science of chemistry, to the point that the Grand Duke of Tuscany asked him to open the first School of Chemistry in Pisa in 1757.
