Look who goes Shopping at the Florence winter sales - not ladies but men!!!

Looking for an Italian Man?

Go to Florence in January!!!

For January is when the Pitti Uomo Fashion Shows start. And that is when the men come to Florence!

The Fashion Event first started in 1951, and influentials travelling to the Paris fashion events were persuaded to come to Florenza. Since then the annual shows have had a significant effect on fashion and Italy's international image.

One evening, when we returning from our explorations over the bridge through the city towards our hotel near the railway station, we noticed something unusual about the shoppers.

They were all men! All well dressed, all ages, all good looking, that I could see.


Gosh, its not just raining men, it is pouring!! Crowds of men in the streets, in the shops trying on garments. Queueing to get into the Opening Night Cocktail Parties. In the bars and cafes. Queues of men everywhere. And in all the hotels which is why we could not book into our favoutite hotel as it cranked its rates up especially for the event.

So ladies, if you are travelling to Europe in winter to take advantage of the winter sales, and would like to meet a man or six, come to Florence in January!!!
