Fabulous Ferragamo

Hello friends!

Sorry, this is going to be brief and the details lacking, but no worries.

I toured the Ferragamo museum and I was so pleased with how informative it was. This month there is a special exhibition on Greta Garbo's relationship with Ferragamo. Her couture wardrobe was divine and there was a terrific shoe for each dress or coat or suit.

There was even a bit about Beatrice Portinari. This inclusion seems random, but the Ferragmo falgship boutique encompasses an entire city block at a corner where the Via Tornabuoni vanishes into the Ponte Saint Trinita bridge. I didn't take a picture of the large Holiday painting at Ferragamo, but it seems that they quite like Beatrice.

My favorite part of this little museum was the final hallway of the exhibition, for it was adorned with photos of Salvatore with all of his limelight beauties. Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn are only a few from long list of famous starlets who would consider Ferragamo as kind of podiatrist; he has a classic, chic, professional answer to all matters of the feet! My favorites are always the signature ballerina flats with the bows.

Enjoy the Ferragamo photos!

I'm retiring for the evening. I need sleep after a terrific dinner and walk about Florence. I promise to catch up with photos as soon as possible. I hope you are all having a terrific Sunday.
