Locals in Italy: Meet Enzo, Metalsmith Artisan in Florence

My favorite area to wander and live in Florence is Oltrarno, the area just across the river from the main tourist center where you can quickly sink into local life centered around Piazza Santo Spirito.

Locals in Italy: Meet Marco, US Aficionado

In our initial conversations that would later blossom into a friendship, I discovered that Marco feels about the US the same way I feel about Italy.
