CLET Studio — Local services in Florence

I was deeply disturbed to encounter imagery in the studio that clearly crossed a line from political commentary into antisemitism. Some artworks incorporate Jewish symbols in ways that feel offensive, stereotypical, and deliberately provocative — not as critique, but as mockery. This is not just controversial art — it’s a misuse of religious and cultural identity that promotes harmful narratives.

Art can and should challenge us, but when it veers into hate or prejudice — especially targeting Jewish identity — it becomes unacceptable. I believe this aspect of the studio deserves to be acknowledged and critically examined.

For those sensitive to issues of racism, antisemitism, and cultural insensitivity, I would strongly recommend reconsidering a visit...

If I could give this a negative 5 star I would. Not for the art but for the way in which we were treated upon arrival. We walked over 3 km to find this studio in hopes to purchase a piece of art. When we arrived at the door the RUDE woman at the door informs us that they are closed (that's fine by the way, have no problem with that, just the way she said it) then when asked when they would be open again she RUDELY said "I don't know I'm traveling" as she was shutting the door...

Such a cool space.

It has that thing, like in Elden Ring (iykyk), where everyone I know who's stumbled on it feels like they were the one to discover it.

The art does such a good job of being just the right amount of pervasive all over Florence, that when you run into the person making it, it feels like magic.

All this to say, it's sort of a magical little spot. The art is certainly excellent in its own right, but the place it sustains is equally...
