Severed heads, Molten Bronze, a Great Itinerary, and a Glass of Wine

We’ll explore the best outdoor museum in Italy; The Loggia of Florence is filled with history and great photo opps. Then we’ll talk to Megan Sipes of The Italian Concierge on how to best plan your trip to Italy with her expertise. Finally, we’ll enjoy a glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (one of my favorites) in the studio and talk about what makes this wine so good.
