Congratulations on the success of the 2018 “Florentine Weekend.”

I feel extremely honored to have had the opportunity to travel to Florence and enjoy each and every one of the special events you planned for the occasion. From the visit the Ornellaia Winery, to the dinner at the Castle della Gherardesca hosted by the lovely Contessa Sibilla, followed by the visit to the soon to be open Marino Marini Museum, the magnificent concert by the Marinisky Orchestra at the Palazzo Piti’s Sala Bianca, and the highlight, the private tour of the Uffizi Gallery, the trip was a once in a lifetime experience! Special thanks to Contessa Maria Vittoria Colonna Rimbotti for making it happen and for hosting a magnificent farewell dinner that was truly memorable.
