Florence, Italy


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!
