This included several displays both in the town itself and at the Villa Landini Marchiani. The Association which organized the event, Il Ponte Mediceo (www.ilpontemediceo.it), did an excellent job. We were also present with our own stall. We shall be taking part in yet another event next week, namely the ‘Mercatale di Firenze’ (the farmers’ markets), which will also be repeated on several other dates leading up to December. The ‘Mercatale’ will be opened on 21st June 2008 in Piazza del Carmine, on the occasion of the ‘Notte Bianca’ (open-air festival) of Florence. We will be taking part on 21st June in Piazza del Carmine and 6th December in Piazza SS. Annunziata. If any of you are in Italy and particularly in Florence on the above dates, I would be pleased to meet you at the stall of the Azienda Agricola Poggio Cappiano. Ciao Fabrizio FESTIVALS IN TUSCANY
