Podesta Baldoucchi

It is one of the oldest flower shops in San Francisco founded in 1871. The store was is very famous in fact it was featured in Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo. Although, it has gone through many changes throughout the years it still remains one of the oldest and most celebrated businesses in San Francisco.In November 2001, San Francisco native Marc Rovetti took ownership of Podesta Baldocchi. Marc's father moved here from Italy in the 1950s and worked at Podesta Baldocchi before he went on to own his own floral business. Stephanie and Jason, floral artisans who own another famous San Francisco Financial District floral business, purchased the thriving Podesta Baldocchi from Marc in the late summer of 2009. They have kept up many of the great traditions of the traditional shop and added some new technological advances as well.
