Talking about museums and libraries in Florence

Last friday I was attending to a conference dealing with the "hot" theme of museums, archives, libraries... how to conserve them, how to promote them, how to use social networks for making people participate and be committed.

Here you can find a list of interesting web sites of some good examples of using "web 2.0" for this purpose.

Pitti men fashion fair: a big kiss from Florence, Italy!

In these days Florence is showing its best... thanks to Pitti Immagine Uomo 77th edition in the whole city there are events, shows, openings, parties everywhere. The city is crowdy with glam and stylish people... it seems to be somewhere else, as New York or London!
I took this picture outside the stand of Fornarina, at Fortezza da Basso, inside the fashion fair, just few minutes before the fashion show took place.
Pitti Immagine Uomo is the biggest fashion fair for man clothing in Italy: 765 exhibitors, 22672 buyers, 59.000 square meters of stands, 936 fashion brands...

Winter sales in Florence!

This weekend I'll go downtown in Florence for some shopping. From the 7th of January in the stores of Firenze there are the wintersales.

I think I need a pair of high heels shoes, I have heard that in all RomanoFirenze shoe shops the whole fall/winter collection is up for a bargain price.
If you are interested too hurry up, the stock is limited and Florence has a lot of shoelovers, so come by as soon as possible!
And from next tuesday all the shopping and fashion addicted will be amazed from the Pitti Uomo Fashion Fair, the biggest event in Italy regarding man clothes.

Pitti fashion fair for men

Next week in Florence there will be the main fashion trade in Italy: Pitti Immagine Uomo 77. From the 12th to the 15th of January the city will be transformed by this fashion event. More info on the official website>>

“What’s Fashion About?” is the new tribute to the international community of buyers and visitors attending the fair, as well as the leitmotif of this edition, based on words, concepts and gossip related to the world of fashion. An installation with a huge banner in the Fortezza da Basso forecourt will display the words, ideas and suggestions proffered by some of the lead players at Pitti Uomo - with additional interventions in the newlayout for the Main Pavilion.

In January Pitti Uomo will unveil a new layout that symbolizes the changes taking place in the world of fashion. The Main Pavilion, the event’s core that showcases some of the most important brands in classic-contemporary looks, will be totally revolutionized by Patricia Urquiola, the Spanish designer who recently completed some of the most successful set designs in the world. An important part of the new layout will be the POP UP STORES – three areas on the Lower Level dedicated to a selection of lifestyle accessories: from bags to jewels, from eyewear to watches, from cosmetics to books and pocket technologies.
