I thought I would actually respond for the first time. Perhaps more due to an introspective and reminiscent mood having just returned from beloved Toscana last week or because I feel like a sideline webspace lurker who should identify myself. It's still a challenge for me write brief texts using acronyms, modicums and other symbols that in former years meant a character was using vulgar language, so may I just say...."Boris your musings are rather intelligent, somewhat entertaining and when they touch on subjects of interest that I think will be edifying for my young adult children I pass them along." So now on the subject of Tuscany; may I pass along a couple of recommendations that I would value if not having eaten, shopped or spent any time in a Villa or two over the years there. My bride of 28 years and I just returned last week and I generally pick up at least a couple of suits from a fabulous retailer who's shop is right in the heart of Florence ( Firenze) and behind the kiosks of the tourist market - the shop's name is Viapiana Abbigliamento Uomo and the gentleman manager is Marco Polvani : address Via dell'Ariento, 19r - walking distance from the Galleria dell Accademia where you will go to observe Michelangelo's David. Prices are excellent by European standards and terrific fun stuff for the discerning but frugal gentleman. In fact, just around the corner from the Accademia is a marvelous restaurant believe it or not called: Ristorante Accademia- Piazza S. Marco 7R tel 39-055-217343 you wont need a reservation if you are a couple or perhaps 4 but it is always busy and phenom- you will enjoy the best rabbit among other fabulous delicacies including the incredible smoked sausage tar-tare( is the best way I can describe in English). In any event ,if you are anywhere Siena region and taking in San Gimignano or Certaldo, ancient villages, I can pass along some other suggestions you may not get from Rick Steves Youtube videos. While we don't do much business together at this point, because yours truly tends to have clients who need LOCs for planning purposes....nonetheless I would be guilty of omission if I didn't pass along a couple of recommendations. Particularly when I think they would be appreciated by a fellow Canadian of the broker industry with a panache for wordsmithing that betrays his age and generational perspective. Buongiorno David Docksteader As a contemporary and one who reads about three blogs in total and yours being one…. I thought I would actually respond for the first time.
