Truly impressive for the era 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
And the Gondolo fits right in (would fit in anywhere, to be honest 😁). A very nice city - looks like you thoroughly enjoyed it 👋🏻
Since my wife and I are passionate about fine arts
(she teaches art history), we've explored many museums and seen hundreds of paintings and sculptures, which was a real joy, as these works of art are truly enriching. We also took a short trip to Siena, where there are many wonderful things to be seen too...
Beautiful shots 👌🏻👍🏻

There are so many beautiful places in this country!
And so many beautiful things to see outside of the museums too! But, as far as driving is concerned, I was surprised during our trip from last year (Bologna, Ferrara, Padova, Ravenna, Arezzo) by the fact that the roads are not always very smooth and that ...
The upkeep of the road network is a bit variable for sure 😊

On the Ponte Vecchio itself, actually (Fratelli Piccini)!
It's where I was offered to try on the green 5270 and 5204: Patek philippe: Trying On Two Green Perpetual Calendar Chronographs I also visited the VC Boutique and the Parmigiani AD: will post later about these experiences. Best, Emmanuel ...
One of my favorite cities!
I've been there twice in the past two years and I've still hadn't gotten enough!
A wonderful place indeed.
The view from the Giardino Bardini is wonderful. Best, Emmanuel ...
