The Perfect Florence Night Out
“Pitti has become lately a kind of Salone del Mobile of men’s wear — a cultural event that is much more than a straightforward trade show. As a result, free time in Florence in the evening is increasingly at a premium, with most nights two or three cocktails, often two dinners and, if you’re really unlucky, an after party to go to, too. We’re there to work, of course, but if I’m able to carve out any ‘me’ time the perfect night out just means good Tuscan food (I also seek out Tuscan restaurants in Milan, too, because it’s my thing) and a catchup with a few good friends, which is just as useful for gathering info as trawling through the fair.
