    Is the Venice Grand Canal boat ride worth it? The price is pretty steep...

      You can just take the water taxi.

        Thanks in advance!

          the big ITALIANA exhibition at the palazzo reale (next to the duomo) is worth a visit for sz members. it includes some pretty interesting carpe diem/l'maltieri pieces and photographs.

              Not sure if anyone here lives in Florence but are there any recommendations for dry-cleaners? I found several through searching online but it's always useful to know what others think.

                I feel like this thread should be called Florence & Venice instead! But here is a long shot: Has anyone been to Ancona ? I'm going there tomorrow and apart from a few museums/sights to see could anyone recommend some nice local restaurants ? Thanks

                  If you have a car/could rent one/could afford a taxi: go to Portonovo (15 km south), on the beach and eat at Clandestino Susci Bar:

                  Call to check opening hours, it's on the sea, in a wonderful bay ;)

                    Would anyone located in Italy be interested in forwarding a package to Canada? I'm wanting to do some shopping on an Italian webstore but I just know the customs fees will be astronomical, so if there's any way to avoid it that's ideal. Let me know! I'll pay you a fee for your time.

                    Thanks

                      PNP seems to have closed. They moved to a new location in Florence a few months ago but were reservation-only, and since September the website is shut down. No news since then.

                        Quite sad: it was one of the first "avant-garde" shop I dreamed about...

                          Fashion has moved on and the secondary market for that stuff is saturated. Stores like that are not viable anymore, unfortunately.

                            Yes, very sad news. No Guya or PNP in Florence anymore is a big hit to fashion here. Also, I should note that before the website shut down there was a big clearance sale including popular products, like all Guidi at 50% off. They haven't made an announcement or anything but all the signs are there.

                            Very true and sad point about the viability of these niche stores today, especially with current travel restrictions. People are filling their fashion desires through online shopping, at least for now.

                              Hey, we'll always have Luisa Via Roma! Literally, the worst store on the planet...

                                I wonder why ? PNP was successful as dark fashion theater for years in addition to extremely helpful customer service ,no reason for PNP to went out of business ,really wonder why pnp closed ??
