6/14/2018 0 Comments May 18 (pt 1)For our last day in Florence, we only had two main places on our agenda: The Santa Croce Basilica & Leather School and Ganzo, an FUA (Florence University of the Arts) student-run restaurant. Afterwards, we were to start our journey to Rome (where you will find May 18 pt 2). The Santa Croce Leather School is a beautiful artisan showroom that is tucked into the Santa Croce Basilica. They make gorgeous, handmade, high-end leather goods in the shop itself. Almost anything you buy there can be monogrammed with your initials in white or yellow gold. (image source) The purses cost upwards of 100-150 euros and the wallets can run you anywhere from 55-200 euros. However, I purchased a small but very well-made forest green leather pouch for 15 euros, that I got monogrammed. He can use it for his chargers/electronic accessories or even as a shaving pouch. They had some really great things that would make for personal, well-crafted gifts for your loved ones. I ended up treating myself to a small but adorable coin purse, which proved itself to be extremely useful in carrying my euros throughout the trip. We then went to Ganzo, the FUA student-run restaurant, where we were treated to a delicious four-course meal, complete with wine pairings. The students who served us were actually American students taking summer hospitality courses abroad in Florence. Afterwards, we boarded our bus to Roma! Click here!
