Florence, December 2022

“Gambero Rosso, Italy’s leading food, dining culture, news and wine publication powerhouse, came out with the 2017 edition of its street food guide to Italy and guess who touts the title for Tuscany? Marco Paparozzi’s Semel in Florence. Semel serves just panini and wine- and a few forgotten old-fashioned Italian sodas like Tassoni Cedrata and Chinotto. Water is served as a last resort. Marco has been officially recognized for having the best street food in Tuscany- by the most food and drink culture publication in the country. This tiny humble panini shop in Sant’Ambrogio, by now an institution for locals and culinarians alike, sits perched on the market’s doorstep. He creates distinctly flavored fillings that are based on Tuscany’s culinary identity- not just your usual salami and cheese carb stack. Think stewed boar, porchetta with robust winter greens, pork loin with candied tomatoes, wild boar ragù taglierini or tortelli pasta (carb on carb), saffron laced chicken and more. The offerings change daily/with the season but you’ll always find some fillings as permanent fixtures such as the truffle, pear and pecorino, And all of this served with soulful humor by Marco and his nephew Niccolo, dressed dapper daily in dress shirts, ties and pins- even in the summer.” (Semel, Curious Appetite)

“The Via Francigena is an ancient road and pilgrimage route running from the cathedral city of Canterbury in England, through France and Switzerland, to Rome and then to Apulia, Italy, where there were ports of embarkation for the Holy Land. It was known in Italy as the ‘Via Francigena’ (the road that comes from France) or the ‘Via Romea Francigena’ (the road to Rome that comes from France). In medieval times it was an important road and pilgrimage route for those wishing to visit the Holy See and the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul.” (Via Francigena, Wikipedia)

“Accademia dei Rozzi di Siena, founded in 1531 under the name Congrega dei Rozzi by a group of artisans, then carried out activities related to theater and music, as well as cultural events. The ‘Congrega’ dei Rozzi, founded in 1531, after being transformed into an Academy in 1691 became, above all during the 19th century, one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in Siena. After using the Saloncino located in the premises of the Metropolitan Opera for its business, the Academy, following the grand-ducal ban on the use of the Saloncino, decided in 1804 to build a new theater in the premises located near Piazza. of San Pellegrino (today Independence) designed by the Sienese architect Alessandro Doveri.” (Accademia dei Rozzi, Histouring)
