A chilly evening at the beginning of January, a red carpet rolled out from The Lounge restaurant in Piazza Santa Maria Novella and a special Florentine is welcomed back after an “exile” of over four years. As cameras clicked and bulbs flashed, a limousine slid up with several local personalities inside, among whom Tuscany’s, and probably Italy’s most famous butcher, Dario Cecchini. Dressed elegantly in black tie, and with a violin case handcuffed to his wrist, he strolled down the carpet towards the newest luxury restaurant in Florence to kick off an evening of wining, dining and merriment dedicated to the night’s true guest of honour, the fiorentina.
