Every year on March 8, the men of Florence hand out mimosas to the women in their families, friend group or, well, field of vision. This gesture of solidarity is sweet, but the Festa della Donna celebrations can admittedly feel forced as earning recognition at other times of the year can prove difficult for the "fairer sex". These local organizations dedicate themselves to donne year-round, and their missions and identities are as varied as those of Florence’s women.
