Ciao! As many of you know Coco Chanel is someone that I greatly admire in the fashion industry. Women fashion would not be what it is today if it wasn't for her. But there is one more person that has paved the fashion road, and is a great legend in my eyes.....Salvatore Ferragamo. Born in Southern Italy Ferragamo, emigrated to the United States in 1914 beginning to build his brand of custom made shoes for women in Hollywood. Designing for the elite such as Marilyn Monroe, the Duchess of Windsor, Ava Gardner, and Audrey Hepburn, Ferragamo used his creativity and great talent to build a successful empire. 
Moving back to Italy in 1927, settling in Florence, Ferragamo opened his first workshop and his clientele enlarged. And now his store and museum sits in the space of his first workshop, and standing in it was phenomenal. Seeing everything that he put into his work from creating a model of his clients foot to his abstract designs was amazing and it gave me even more inspiration to my goals in life. And it also showed me that doing what you love will bring you success. Salvatore Ferragamo and the Salvatore Ferragamo brand is the epitome of passion.  |

After the visit to the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum I walked around Florence for a bit more to take in the beauty and eat one more delicious Florentine pizza! So whenever you guys are in Florence you HAVE to go to Gustapizza, the pizza I had there was the BEST I’ve had this entire trip here in Italia.
