Pitti Taste Firenze 2019

From Saturday 9 to Monday 11 March 2019, Pitti Taste Florence returns to the Stazione Leopolda, a Pitti Immagine exhibition-event dedicated to the excellence of taste, culture of quality food, Italian lifestyle and design of the table. The best international operators of haute cuisine come together here with the best niche products: a journey through foods, wines, objects and ideas, to discover the many and new ways in which taste is expressed and experienced today. The Stazione Leopolda, place of the event, is at one kilometre away from the Santa Maria Novella railway station and at twenty minute walk from the Brunelleschi, 4-star hotel in Florence, with an itinerary through the streets of the historic centre.
