Hello Cindy, welcome! As a fellow blogger I will definitely check out yours. We look forward to seeing your posts in our community :)
I have been meaning to check out the arezzo market myself, maybe this month or next. It sounds like the perfect place to search from some truly unique items..
It's funny you say vicopisano, I was just there visiting the local frantoio! I will pass along this info on our socials :)
Thank you wine pass for your indepth answer, we appreciate it!
Some restaurants are popular at any time of the year, in Florence this could be ' La Giostra, Vini e Vecchi Sapore, Libreria Brac, Berbere, Il Pizzaiuolo, Cibreo Il Brindellone. I would make reservations just to be safe, maybe not for lunch (if not Sunday - then you would want to). If you need any tips, just let us know!
This sounds so good even I have to try this! Also I love adding grapes next to either the ham or turkey (washed and prepped with a little olive oil, salt & pepper) it's a delicious side that has a very distinctive sweet & salty flavor.
Hello! I would definitely agree about the firenze card, it is a great value. You can always come and buy your ticket a day ahead, there is a special office for that at the Uffizi. As for November, it is getting cooler right now so I would definitely pack layers and a coat. Also rain-resistent boots and an umbrella, the seasons change day by day it feels like. I think personally some awesome day trips would be to the thermal baths (bagno vignoni in UNESCO heritage site that is the val'dorcia valley, also make sure to pick up some olive oil as right now they are beginning the harvest. I think cinque terre might be a little cold during that season..
Hello Giovanni, welcome to the forum and thanks for the compliment, you definitly have a 'home' here for any of your Italy, travel, life, anything questions. We actually had a wonderful post in our community about traveling with your pets in 2012 and it has all the info you need to know. Of course, each airport varies. https://www.italymagazine.com/community/post/useful-pet-travel-resources-when-travelling-or-usaI hope that helps and travel safe!
Have you consulated a lawyer yet? I have a feeling these things take quite some time in Italy.. Hopefully we can have an expert jump in on this one.
Randy wonderful comment, I have never seen a culture more adept at parralel parking, it's really just a difference in cultures. I have only been in one accident in Florence and it was really due to the rain. Thanks for your great two cents!
