Here in Florence, we always complain that there is never anything new! Here we we are denying!, this wonderful exhibition, “marvels of trompe-l’oeil” held at Palazzo Strozzi until January 24th is a must. There are masterpieces from antiquity through contemporary names like Titiano, Mantegna, Pistoletto. My advice is to take your time, and to observe those artworks that in this way will reveal you their “illusions” and then…. play in the interactive room. I really enjoyed it ! It is another opportunity to return to Florence! maybe for Christmas and New Year’s eve. Perfect with children www.inganniadartefirenze.it
Yesterday I met a friend in Santa Croce square and we started to talk about florentine craftworks. He knew that I take my guests to see “special shops” so he suggested to show me the mosaics of Bruno and Iacopo Lastrucci; it seems to enter in a craftoshop at the time of Medici family!!…. an unforgettable experience
The Fashion’s Month is January ! Florence improves in looks to welcome people from all over the world! Pitti Immagine Uomo from 12 to 15, Pitti Bimbo from 21 to 23 and Pitti Filati from 27 to 20.

Panzanella is a traditional summer bread salad. It is pertaining to Tuscany’s poor cookery, when bread was baked once a week and the ingenious women dressed up stale bread with vegetables that they found in the vegetable garden. Quick to make, requires no cooking, be sure to use a good quality country bread pane casalingo. Can be served like appetizer or first course, perfect at “merenda” .
Ingredients for 4 people:
- gr. 300 stale bread
- 5 diced ripe tomatoes (hard)
- 1 red onions (better spring onion)
- one cucumber
- basil, salt and pepper
- red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil.
Cut the bread into slices and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes. Then squeeze well the slices, break them up reducing them into crumbles and put in a salad bowl. Add in the tomatoes, the onion and the cucumber. Then add the basil leaves, season with salt and pepper and dress with olive oil. Turn all and put in the fridge; at the moment of serving, season again with vinegar and oil (be generous). buon appetito
