Today we are galavanting to Florence, a city that is perfect any time of year. If you want to get away for a weekend, Florence is a guaranteed home run. I’ve been to Florence several times, but I have especially fond memories of my recent visit. In October, Co-Founder Eva and Board Members Matt, Mike, David and our significant others met in Tuscany for a long weekend. We explored the Tuscan countryside, and stayed in a villa once owned by the Siena royal family. Quite a far cry from my days in Finance, this is my kind of Board Meeting
One of my favorite parts of the trip was our excursion into Florence, where we researched new places for this week’s feature. We ate and shopped our way throughout the city, visiting our favorites like Giostra and also finding new gems like Cammillo Trattoria. I am grateful to have such incredible partners and business advisors, who not only make Galavante the best it can be, who but are also so enjoyable to spend time with around the world. I hope that you are able to find your own Dolce Vita in this beautiful city.
All the best,
