Farmacia Bernardini [Bernardini Pharmacy]

Founded around the middle of the 19th century, the pharmacy was bought by the Bernardini family between 1935 and 1940. On that occasion the pharmacy, which had been located on the opposite side of the street, was moved to the premises it still occupies today. Of its antique pharmaceutical equipment, numerous objects remain, displayed in specially designed show cases.
