Love is in the air: San Valentine’s Day, starting 2 days before and ending the day after

Yes, you have to wait until two or three days before San Valentine’s Day to have the right idea for your lover.

It happens every year, each time you start thinking and watching shop windows, but then you think you want something different, something special that reminds you and you love of that particular feeling.

Anyway, here’s my preparation to San Valentine’s Day… Starting from a tour in Florence, passing by those little vintage shops full of things and old tools and books and posters..

going towards those refined and polish shops as the Rinascente, where you can enjoy its facade that is totally dedicated to the new fragrance of Ferragamo ‘Emozione’:

arriving to a fantastic idea, an homemade one.. that’s it! Here you are the solution:

I know they will be very appreciated 🙂 above all if thinking about San Valentine Day’s I was sure to have…
…in Naples.

Imagine having lunch at home, because you man loves to prepare lunches for you..and you also have at your disposal a fish market where fish is very cheap and fresh and it has a wonderful taste:

and you can add some very good raw fish, enjoy this picture where you can see oysters (top!), razor shells, smooth clams and some others mollusks:

Then, it’s time to enjoy the nice sun outside, so let’s have a walk in one of the man street – Via Toledo, also called via Roma – that goes straight to Piazza Plebiscito. At first, you meet a surprisingly great juke-box (with a poor man inside!) designed by Baci Perugina: you just need to choose your song and it starts… (then I discovered all the songs were part of Tiziano Ferro’s archives because of a particular partnership between him and Perugina brand, they created a limited edition for this loving occasion):

Let’s finish the tour with something more pretty and less popular, in one of the narrows that lead to ‘Quartieri Spagnoli’ of Naples..a green and red Gallery of Love, full of flowers:

Hope you enjoyed your San Valentine’s Day and mine too! 🙂

Why just the Gold Fish?

Yes this is the question. I don’t really think it’s worth to mention just the Gold one. I support the Blu one. I vote for him.

I vote for the different ones, the ones that are not so official and conventionally known, the ones that are not so common. That’s why they’re more special, because they’re exclusive…you won’t find them at the market, you won’t see them by going to your friends’ home, neither in regular pet shops..

Have a look
