Florence is to fashion as gelato is to Italy! Half the beauty of Florence is the aesthetic view of women and men in their trendiest clothes walking the streets. Florence houses some of the first prestigious designers; Salvatore Ferragamo and Emilio Pucci. Historically Florence is regarded as Italy's first fashion home, and many elegant designer boutiques sit along Via de' Tornabuoni including: Bulgari, Gucci, Prada, Robert Cavalli and Chanel. Simply peering into their display windows is a treat for ones eyes as they are each uniquely beautiful.
Tuscan - and, in particular, Florentine - cuisine is famous for its simple magniffcence. The apparent contradiction between simplicity and richness is happily resolved in the culinary tradition of our "contradas", which is distinguished precisely for its capacity to exalt fundamental flavours and aromas to a maximum. Everything is based on the quality and freshness of the ingredients.
