What do you like most about Florence?
One really striking thing about Florence is the view of the Ponte Vecchio and Lungarni when you pass beneath them in a row boat. You get the impression of living in another era.
Where do you like to have breakfast and what do you love to eat?
I like to have breakfast at the historic Bar Francesconi, a chocolate ‘fagottino’ pastry and a cappuccino.
What part of your store are you fondest of?
The part of my store I’m fondest of is definitely the marble table where I love to chat and have coffee with customers and friends.
What product would you recommend for an unforgettable gift?
Is it banal to say an unforgettable pair of sunglasses? 😉
Your favourite store in Florence?
Definitely the old pharmacy, the Officina di Santa Maria Novella.
Your favourite Piazza?
Piazza Santa Trinita.
