This is where the story began: a love for his homeland and a past that did not want to be forgotten.

We get to know the Horus Center in Montevarchi, a structure created to meet the growing needs of the territory – specialized services, prevention and cutting-edge health care. In addition to the multifaceted capillarity of skills, there is a very attentive reception and secretarial service, on a human scale as well as quite efficient. We talk about it with the head of communication Caterina Meniconi who cordially welcomes us with a positive and enthralling spirit – and leads us into Center among a circle of enterprising doctors and a maze of sophisticated machinery.

We are immersed in one of the most iconic landscapes in Italy – a stone’s throw from Sant’Antimo, Montalcino, the Val d’Orcia, the Maremma and Monte Amiata – where AR Consulting Italia is based. A multifaceted project, managed by the experience, vision and knowledge of the tourism and real estate sector of Alessio and Cristina, and, nevertheless, by their harmony as a couple. La Corte Francigena, an urban conglomerate that stands out for taste, refinement of details and top quality services, represents an excellence of tourist hospitality in the area, and beyond.

A story of pride and belonging, which has its roots in San Giovanni delle Contee. A border village of about 150 inhabitants, 150 brothers, acquaintances, friends. United, with the aim of resisting the times and not making the life of the village disappear, in a project that involves almost all the inhabitants; some engaged in the production of excellent wines, others in the processing of legumes, potatoes and oils. Products that can be purchased – or, rather, tasted – at Osteria Macallè. We talk about it with Tiziana Peruzzi who has been managing a place for true connoisseurs since 2019.

I had the distinct feeling that this meeting with the architect Goujon could be very interesting, from a human, aesthetic and cultural point of view. I had confirmation of this when Arnaud, after the initial presentations that broke the ice, tells me without hesitation: “I want people to leave me free to think. You believe, I think!”. A must-see is his exhibition at Palazzo Giorgi, in the ancient village of Poppi: “Itinerary of an architect”, with thirty plates that tell the story of his artistic career (12-31 October 2024).

Far from being a pedantic history lesson, this digression on the three Florentine republics that succeeded one another from 1494 (the year of the expulsion of the Medici who, fearful, conniving and rumoured in cahoots with the French of Charles VIII, were overthrown by spontaneous citizen uprisings) intends to bring to light that voluntary, popular and democratic spirit that took place after decades of Medici domination, ignited by the vehement preaching of Friar Girolamo Savonarola.

It was customary for the eve of St. John to celebrate and light bonfires of or brooms in the city, in the squares and in the countryside and on the hills around the city to celebrate the summer solstice. They were the ‘fires of rejoicing’ which, recalling their pagan origins, attributed sacredness to light. Of that ancient pagan heritage, Florence has preserved the tradition of fires, organized today by the Society of St. John the Baptist with the contribution of the CR Firenze Foundation and the collaboration of the Municipality of Florence.

Of Marco and Roberto we will tell you the human rather than the professional story. In fact, we believe that the world of finance – and by constituency that of savings and insurance, cannot do without that human factor capable of triggering mutual trust and building that relationship of esteem and trust necessary for the perfect success of any relationship, personal and business together. We meet them in the centre of Florence – and with them we take a walk from Piazza della Signoria to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, among the civil and religious splendours of the Renaissance city.

In these times of unbridled homologation, what is difficult, especially in a thousand-year-old city like Florence, is to escape the temptation of compromise, of what one likes, of uniformity of taste. If you are looking for true Florentine cuisine, we recommend the cuisine of Giovanni di Pasquale who has condensed his singular enthusiasm for tradition into his three restaurants Antica Mescita (San Niccolò), Vecchia Osteria del Nacchero (Piazza Gavinana) and Naccherino (the latest creation in San Donato in Collina), rediscovering old gastronomic codes.
