Vintage curiosities
I like to discover vintage gadgets or accessories, which I usually find in specialized stores as Ottica Serraglini. My other alternative, one which is more exciting, is to wait for the antiques and vintage market that takes place in Piazza Ghiberti, every last sunday of the month. It is full of treasures and interesting objects!
— Ottica Serraglini Via Pietrapiana, 26
— Antiques and vintage market Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti
For theater lovers
When it comes to makeup and hairstyles for film and theater, we are no less in Florence thanks to the historic Studio Filistrucchi and the best-equipped professional makeup store in Italy, Nicla.
— Studio Filistrucchi Via Giuseppe Verdi, 9
— Nicla Make-Up Artist Via Nazionale, 67
Best places to eat & drink
As for food, I can’t help but have my favorite sandwich for lunch at Semel, my favorite is the ravioli and wild boar sandwich. For the evening, however, I choose traditional Tuscan dishes at Café Cibreo, I recommend the great classic taglierino cacio e burro followed by braciole rifatte alla Livornese. After dinner, everyone needs to go to Volume for concerts and drinks overlooking Santo Spirito Church.
— Semel Street Food Piazza Lorenzo Ghiberti, 44/r
— Cibreo Via Andrea del Verrocchio, 5R
— Volume Piazza Santo Spirito, 3
