Tuscan Wine Windows: Charming Remnants of Ancient Social Distancing

buchetta del vino, a small 16th-century window through which wine was passed, on a street in Florence, Italy. As Florentines succumbed to the plague, survivors drowned their sorrows in wine, passed to them through these small windows – an early form of social distancing. TIZIANA FABI/Getty Images
Tuscany is so full of history and beauty – you meet wonders of art and architecture on almost every corner. But I love the region's homier aspects: the special sweetness of the tomatoes, the soft mozzarella, the heady scents of basil and garlic everywhere.
— Actress and director Trudie Styler
The charming plague wine windows you still find dotting the streets of Italy today are another homey and enchanting Tuscan tradition that has historic roots. Originally created as a way for wine merchants to safely pass their product to customers during the plague, these windows have come back into use during the COVID lockdowns of 2020.

Retracing Dante’s steps means setting off on a unique journey into the art, history, culture and spirituality of Florence in the mid-1300s. In this
self-guided tour of Dante’s Florence, we peel back the layers of history, often in plain view of the piazzas and occasionally hidden away in the medieval backstreets.

Florence, within the ancient ring, from which she takes the bell-sound still of terce and nones, lived on in modesty, chasteness and peace. -Paradiso 15: 97-99
