Very interesting how perfume is made and so does its history that dates back in the 1300s ! I named my perfume ALLORA ! Italians say it all the time in between sentences or before and after sentences. It means “then”, “so”… and probably more. If I will get a puppy I will name her…

I ordered it because of its name. Darn! I got tipsy on the first few sips!

Two of my faves! And I have been eating a lot of these! I still have to find the best pasta with truffles that will makes me want to cry 😋

I declared that my diabetes doesn’t exist this month of October 😛!

Love this street art! Make sure to put money in his box if you want to take pics! Such a waste of art as the street will be cleaned and washed off the following morning.

Back to Florence! It’s nice not to be on anyone’s schedule. From Castle to this Hotel Palazzo. My room is insane! My jaw dropped when I opened the door.

Too much good food ! I don’t understand why are Italians are not obese! Must be all the wine they drink with each food item! The four standard courses of a typical Italian restaurant meal are antipasto (appetizer), primo (pasta), secondo (meat/protein) served with contorni (sides) and dolce (dessert).

Staying at Castello di Gabbiano !
