Migrant Street Vendors and Novelty Products in Italy

Migrant vendors in Florence, particularly near the Ponte Vecchio, primarily sell selfie sticks, USB chargers, and novelty "blob" toys that splat on the ground. These products are identified as typical mass-produced items from China. The lack of presence among tourists, who are seen as more interested in group photos than the historical significance of their surroundings, is noted as a disturbing trend in modern travel.
