Try Florence (Firenze), then drop by Florence, and don't forget to
round off the trip in Florence. The whole place is an aesthetic orgasm
- sorry, there's no other word for it. Loads of small bookbinders,
and that beautiful Florentine illuminated paper. Don't forget to visit
the library with Michaelangelo's staircase - there are no books in
it unfortunately, they're all round the back. You may be able to get
access to visit if you prearrange?

Siena has a couple of beautiful little antiquarian bookshops with very
fine stuff.
