Pitti Uomo Vendors’ Favorites in Florence

Infused in medieval times, Florence sparks magic at every angle. The fortunate ones that season after season attend the Pitti Uomo trade show, have the chance to live the city in a very special way. They are not tourists, nor residents but longtime habitués who have the perfect combination of curiousness and familiarity with the place, enabling them to ferret out the city treasures and establish their own circuit of preferences. Here is a dive into the Florentine favorites of the Pitti Uomo vendors. There’s a hefty consensus between the industry insiders: LuisaViaRoma, which this year celebrates its 90th anniversary, is the place to go for shopping and inspiration. Then there are some key categories when talking about Florence’s specialties and classics: perfumes and essences, antiquities, great walks around the city, and good-quality, typical Tuscan cuisine. Luigi Lardini, creative director of the family-owned Lardini fashion house, considers Florence as a place to chill. Long walks passing through Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria to arrive to the Duomo rank among his favorites things to do. Florence’s beautiful architecture inspired Lardini to the extent of re-creating the intricate ceiling path of Galleria Vasariana in his own private apartment in the historical center of the city.
