I can give you a lot of addresses of trattorie, restaurants, wineries and "photographic" places: it dipends on your taste, preferences, time, etc. (please contact me off-list, giving me your phone numer, if you wish). If you can change your agenda, take note of the Leica biggest fair in Italy, on April 28 in the middle-age main square of Arezzo (a very nice small city close to Florence). In Florence do not miss Alinari atelier, in front of the train station, the oldest photographic archive in Italy (they will celebrate 150 years on April 24), where they still make collotypes and platinum prints from glass negatives made during the last two centuries. Close to Florence remember San Miniato; going south, the Chianti wine route to Siena and to Montalcino (do not miss Sant'Antimo Abbey, 15 km. from Montalcino) or also to Pienza; going west, Pisa. If our agendas are compatible, it will be a pleasure meeting you somewhere. Have a nice trip. Diego - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
