We were invited to a Gucci and GQ reception to celebrate the
Lapo Elkann collection. It was a fabulous evening and was just so much fun.
After the event, I went out to pizza with some of my new friends, a pretty
Russian woman and her mother, a NYC entrepreneur, an Italian acquaintance and
my parents. It was the best pizza party
ever!
The next day we went to a special Gucci showroom where they
take really famous people, not just a normal store. There they had selected all
of these items for me to look at and try on. It was so cool!
In Florence, we also went on some walking tours. One day we
went on a Medici history walking tour. I learned a lot. My favorite walking
tour was the local artisans one where I went local craftsmen and woman who
taught me a little about their skill. It was amazing to see how much time and
effort goes into making certain things by hand.
My favorite restaurant in Florence was Alle Murate. The
original frescos on the second floor and the excavation work in the basement
made this place very special.
Ciao for now!
