ROBERTO CAVALLI STYLE MEETS
OLD SCHOOL FLORENTINE NEGRONI
By Heidi Johnson-Wright
Italy’s reputation as a civilization through
the millennia is unparalleled: standard-setting architecture, ingenious feats
of engineering, art as awe-inspiring as gazing into the face of God.
All of those things should be part and parcel
of a trip to Florence.
But let’s not forget two of the best things about contemporary
Italian culture: tasty things to put in one’s mouth and gorgeous things to wear.
That’s why Caffe Giacosa was a must-see on my
list.
Nestled in Florence’s famed fashion district centered around Via
Tornabuoni (the boutiques! the bags! the Pucci prints!), Giacosa is part coffee
house, part salon, and 100 percent famed Italian designer Roberto Cavalli.
Cavalli, a Florentine by birth, saved and re-imagined
the spot that was the former location of an antique shop turned cafe.
