THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

(and they spoke a lot about Michelangelo's David) 🍑

Six months of tours in the books, and the data doesn't lie: you ALL want the Walking Tour + Accademia. 28 bookings. Almost 30% of everything I did this year. David is basically paying my rent at this point, and honestly? Fair. He's got abs of marble and zero personality flaws.

Add the Walking Tour Firenze and the Uffizi, and boom — that's 6 out of 10 tourists in Tuscany right there, chasing the same 3 things. 🏛️🎨

Do I blame you? Absolutely not. Renaissance greatest hits exist for a reason.

BUT.

Can we talk about the Oltrarno artisans tour for a second? 🛠️✨ Eight brave souls booked it this year. EIGHT. Meanwhile you're out here elbowing strangers for a photo with a 500-year-old statue, and two streets away there's a guy who can teach you how actual Florentine leather is made, no crowds, no queues, just genuine craft and probably an espresso.

The artisans deserve better marketing. And apparently a personality transplant, because clearly "quiet, real, less Instagrammable" isn't selling like "iconic, famous, everyone's-been-there."

So here's my challenge to you: next time you're in Florence, book the tour NOBODY is booking. I promise it won't disappoint — and you'll actually have something to talk about at dinner that isn't "have you seen the David."

📍 Walking Tour + Accademia — still iconic, still booked out, still worth it 🛠️ Oltrarno Artisans — criminally underrated, link in bio

Which one are YOU booking next? 👇

🚨 Big news! (Well... not completely new if you've been keeping an eye on my website.)

Some of you may have already noticed that things have been quietly changing around here. I've been working behind the scenes on a website refresh, tweaking pages, moving things around, and generally trying to make everything a little prettier and easier to use.

The only thing I didn't have time to do was actually tell people about it.

So here we are.

Along with the refreshed website, there's also a brand-new blog post online, this time dedicated to Lucca.

No spoilers here, but if Lucca is on your Tuscany wish list (or if you're wondering whether it's worth a visit at all), you'll find ideas, practical tips, local tricks, and a few videos that might make you smile.

And since you're already browsing...

📩 You can subscribe to my newsletter directly on the website.

Before you panic: I'm not planning to show up in your inbox every Tuesday morning with life lessons and motivational quotes.

It's simply a way to stay in touch and occasionally share new blog posts, Tuscany tips, travel ideas, and updates when I actually have something worth saying.

Have a look around, enjoy the new article, and let me know what you think!

“What should I wear in Italy?” is one of the questions I hear the most.

And I get it — you want to feel right, not out of place.

But here’s the truth: Italy is not a movie set.

People are not watching you the way you think they are.

Wear something comfortable.

Respect the places you visit.

And then… forget about it.

The best outfit you can bring to Italy is ease.

March 25 was once New Year’s Day in Florence.
But that’s only the surface.

It marked the Annunciation — the moment of divine transformation.

And Dante deliberately begins his journey into the Inferno on this exact date.

For medieval thinkers, time was symbolic.

Certain days represented thresholds between worlds.

Florence still holds these hidden layers — if you know where to look.

Context changes everything.

"A VERY short love story"

Starring:

as knocking hand and cameraman

"A night in Florence, 1 wine window, 2 young people in love... with wine" 🍷

What are they saying to each other? What happened at the end? Nobody knows, not even the restaurant owners 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Santa Maria Novella was Florence’s first cathedral"

Not quite — but I heard this from unofficial guides!

📍**Santa Maria Novella** is one of the most important **Dominican churches** in Florence, but it was **never the city’s cathedral**.

⛪ The *first* official cathedral of Florence was **San Lorenzo**, consecrated in **393 AD**, long before Santa Maria Novella was even started.

Later, the title of cathedral was transferred to **Santa Reparata** (which once stood beneath today’s Duomo), and eventually to **Santa Maria del Fiore**, the current cathedral.

🤯 See how much history gets lost?

Real guides don’t just show you pretty churches — we bring clarity, context, and centuries of story into focus.

📩 DM me to book a real tour, with real history — not fairy tales.
