Osteria di Passignano is locate in a small town of Badi a Passignano, that is about half hour from Florence. It’s speciality is the big selection of wines from whole Italy and only from natural wineries! The interior is very simple, and the food… Well, the food… DELICIOUS! This is like one of the best restaurants in Italy! The food is typical Tuscan, but with a modern touch. The meat is delicate, and the pasta is all hand made. This place will not only give you a amazing culinary experience, but also beautiful memories of Dolce Vita vibes!

The beautiful little town of Badia a Passigno is supplied if three things- one beautiful mens monastery of Benedictans, and two restaurants (SOON!). Surrounded with large grape fields and dozens of palaces and wineries, the town, that is very not touristic, but warm and delicious, keeps secrets from the ancient times till nowadays! Here is what Lena wore: Mary Katrantzou dress, Celine bag, Balenciaga sandals, Shourouk bracelet and Thom Browne sunglasses.

Tuscany: Basilica di Santa Maria

“The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (English: Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower) is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.” In other words, that place is wonderful and very emotional! The ornaments, forms… I love it! And what’s more it’s super inspiring!

Piedi Nudi Nel Parco, in shorter version known as -PN\P, these two dark places in Florence are the coolest conceptual fashion stores in the city! First you need to know, that here you won’t find Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana. For this you can go to shitty Luisa Via Roma, that is really poor. The -PN\P store is for individuals, that simply love dark, luxury clothes. Here you will find Alaia and labels that reassemble Rick Owens. In both boutiques, women’s and men’s, the interior is very artistic! In the first one you walk on a glass floor through which you see ancient catacombs, and on the second one it’s all about modern fabrics and metallic details… If you are into this style and going to visit Florence soon, this place is right for you!
