At Antica Torre Tornabuoni, we proudly embrace and promote Italian cuisine as a fundamental part of our cultural legacy — a living expression of the stories, flavors, and craftsmanship that define our country. 🇮🇹❤️
A toast to Italy, to its culinary masters, and to everyone who keeps these traditions alive every day.

Today, December 8, we celebrate the Immaculate Conception — and it’s a national holiday in Italy. ✨🙏🇮🇹
On this day, the Church commemorates the conception of the Virgin Mary without original sin. The date falls exactly nine months before her birth, celebrated on September 8. 💙🌟
This feast has been honored since the earliest centuries of Christianity, gaining particular significance in the West during the Middle Ages. ⛪📜✨
For Italians, December 8 marks the true beginning of the Christmas season: families decorate their homes, set up the Christmas tree, and prepare the nativity scene. 🎄🏠✨🤍

Winter in Florence calls for one thing: hot chocolate. ☕️❄️
And not just any hot chocolate — a true Florentine tradition.

Many historic cafés still make it the old-fashioned way, and here are our top 3 places to warm up your winter days:
✨ Caffè Rivoire
✨ Caffè Gilli
✨ Vestri
