We finally managed to visit the majestic @museoaccorsi in Turin: Mr Accorsi was one of the very few art and antiques dealer in Europe achieving almost legendary status in the rare antiquities market. Famously, he was the dealer serving Presidents, Tycoons, Queens and Kings: the son of Henry Ford once eyed a fantastic double-body trumeau of the XVII century from Mr Accorsi personal collection (and not for sale) and he was mailing from the US to Turin a blank chèque every Christmas asking Mr Accorsi to sell that double-body at whatever price he wanted. This was repeated every Christmas for decades and Mr Accorsi regularly mailed the blank chèque back to Mr Ford with a little note saying: “Dollars and Cars I can buy how many I want, but that is an unique piece and I cannot sell it”. Highly recommended visit if you happen to be in Turin! #torino #italia #verytroubledchild

After coming back to Florence from Tuscan countryside, we checked-in at Hotel l’Orologio @hotelorologio_florence 🇮🇹 convinently located in front of Santa Maria Novella. Nice rooms, elegant marble bathrooms, good breakfast with spectacular view, cozy lobby and great bar 👍 #verytroubledchild #firenze #italia

And we are back in Florence: we quickly checked in, left our bags at the hotel lobby and went to see the Santa Maria Novella and its beautiful cloisters. Most of the Early and High Renaissance frescoes are still in fantastic conditions, allowing the viewers to travel back in time to an era of cultural and phisolophicak leaps forward which still amaze us today. #firenze #italia #verytroubledchild

A day in San Gimignano 🇮🇹 the Town of fine Towers, also known as the “Medieval Manhattan”. It’s a small walled medieval hill town in the Tuscan countryside famous for its medieval architecture, wine and food. It’s pretty sleepy in January, but we were lucky to find a couple of places open for lunch. We had a delicious pappa al pomodoro and white pizza with fantastic “cinta sense”. We surerly will be back in Spring! #verytroubledchild #sangimignano #toscana
