The receptionist at Antica Torre Tornabuoni suggested a drink on the roof terrace. So we took the lift to the top of this 13th Century stone tower and… wow! There’s not one heart-stopping view but two. On one side the city skyline dominated by the Duomo, on the other the river Arno.

🍃 Autumn in Tuscany has a scent: olio nuovo.
It is the first extra virgin olive oil of the season — bright green, intensely fragrant, slightly spicy — a true celebration of our land.
Freshly harvested olives, cold-pressed within hours, become a vibrant elixir best enjoyed on toasted Tuscan bread… simple, pure, unforgettable.
At Antica Torre Tornabuoni, we’re proud to share this tradition through Diadema’s extraordinary oils, crafted in Impruneta by a family who transforms passion, art, and nature into excellence.
From centuries-old olive groves to hand-picking, from the mill to your table — every drop tells a story of Tuscany, of heritage, of love for the land.
Because olio nuovo is not just an ingredient. It’s Tuscany in liquid form. ✨

✨ David has new companions!
Starting today, two Roman Age statues will be on display at the Galleria dell’Accademia:
🗿 Apollo Citharoedus, inspired by a 2nd-century AD model, depicts the god of music and arts.
🗿 Nude Hero with Horn, datable between the 1st and 2nd century AD, reinterprets the iconography of Polycletus’ Heracles, presented in a modern context as a young hunter hero.
Another reason to visit the museum when you come to Florence!

✨ On this day in 1503, a new star of the Renaissance was born. ✨
Agnolo di Cosimo — the world would later know him as Bronzino — came into the world on 17 November in Monticelli, just outside Florence. No one could have imagined that this young Florentine would become one of the most polished and sophisticated painters of his time.
Bronzino grew up to be the favorite artist of the Medici court, shaping the elegant visual identity of 16th-century Florence. Under the guidance of his mentor Pontormo, he developed a style of pure refinement: serene, idealized faces; luminous, cool colors; and a precision that turned every detail into poetry.
His portraits — like the iconic Eleonora of Toledo with her son Giovanni — still captivate with their quiet nobility. And his frescoes in the Chapel of Eleonora at Palazzo Vecchio – that you see in the picture – remain some of the most exquisite expressions of Florentine Mannerism.
Today we remember not just his birth, but the beginning of an artistic vision that blended elegance, intellect, and a very Florentine sense of beauty.
