Went up there two years ago when we were there for 3 nights. Fantastic views of a fantastic city.

Time before that I was there in 2015 and got 10% off a non date sub in the AD on Ponte Vecchio - lovely family business and gave me a huge book of their history and the bridges.

Was £4,000 if I recall correctly.

Here you go...

If you’re still in Florence tomorrow, and you haven’t gone to the Leather Goods District (right near the big food Mercato) - you would be well advised to go there and buy a bunch of great belts and real leather jackets, shearlings and other fine goods - my last trip there I saved so much money on the shearling coat (paid $650 vs. $7000 at Bergdorfs) that it literally paid for my airfare and hotel…

Yes the leather market! Great deals. Bought a leather duffle weekend bag and toiletry bag for $200. Great quality.

Did you shoot a man whilst you were there? Just to watch him die?

I lived in Florence for a summer. Quite a memorable summer and a beautiful city. Very inspirational with all the art and history. Makes you want to live there.

Clearly. I live 45 minutes from Reno. It's been a rat hole for the almost 50 years I've lived nearby. As my old boss was fond of saying, "You can't polish a turd."
