Had a great lunch opposite the showroom and then strolled up the viale Michelangelo to the Piazzale overlooking the City - Beautiful is an understatement :) Thought you guys may like the view

SOUP OF CLAMS AND MUSSELS WITH TOMATOES



POLENTA WITH WILD BOAR AND JUNIPER



TAGLIATELLI WITH PORCINI AND TRUFFLES





















Both watches are gen - just like the view :)
My 372 is on a classy stitchless black saddle and Simona`s chrono is on the Perfetto which is softer than any leather strap you ever felt - it feels like it was made out of babies (it definitely wasnt ) but it really is THE strap for every Panerai owner and ought to be what comes on a gen in my opinion.

Wow - great pictures from a great city :) Thanks for sharing and have more great time there. And after watching your pics I got hungry ;)

I love Firenze very much. Don't miss the Marina Militare store in Via Vacchereccia, near Piazza della Signoria.

Btw... You are right, the Perfetto by Simona is really soft and very nice ;)

You're making me jealous mate, great place, great food, great watches, and one of the best strapmakers to share the Panerai passion with you...
Enjoy your time there :)

Wow looks magnificent,reminds me of when I backpacked through Europe in my 20s.We always looked at people dining with that beautiful food and I had no idea what a Panerai was.Thank you for the pictures.

maybe I can add a somewhat more topic-related follow up to this old story...

Oh yes, for sure you won't regret it to visit Simona! Not only because of her straps, but she and her hubby are absolutely amazing people and I had to rub my eyes when I saw their estate and the area where they live.
My 2c: You definitely wouldn't like go there with a rep!
