Beef is being selected for its provenance and ageing, buns are being developed…

Florence is a destination where beauty is encountered at almost every turn. Renaissance façades line narrow streets, church bells echo across terracotta rooftops and the River Arno reflects some of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
