One more reason to put the Pitti Palace on your list of museums to visit while in Florence.

One of the world's most important collections dedicated to fashion and costume reopens with eight new rooms.

For the first time in the museum's history at the center of the tour is the main nucleus of clothes in the collection, ordered according to historical-chronological criteria that accompany the visitor through the complex viaticum of the history of costume and fashion: about sixty garments from the 18th to the 21st century and as many accessories including shoes, bags, fans, umbrellas, gloves, and hats.

I'm sure by now that you have heard the great news:
The Department of Transportation announced it is rolling out new rules that will require airlines to automatically give cash refunds to passengers for canceled and significantly delayed flights.

Airlines can no longer decide how long a delay must be before a refund is issued. Under the new DOT rules, the delays covered would be more than three hours for domestic flights and more than six hours for international flights. (Through EU regulations, you are already allowed partial to full refunds for delayed and canceled flights).

This includes tickets purchased directly from airlines, travel agents and third-party sites such as Expedia and Travelocity.

The DOT rules lay out that passengers will be "entitled to a refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed, and they do not accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered."

DOT will also require airlines to give cash refunds if your bags are lost and not delivered within 12 hours.

The refunds must be issued within seven days, according to the new DOT rules, and must be in cash unless the passenger chooses another form of compensation. Airlines can no longer issue refunds in forms of vouchers or credits when consumers are entitled to receive cash.

Airlines will have six months to comply with the new rules.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced the new rules Wednesday.

Today in Florence, the Scoppio del Carro , or the "Explosion of the Cart" to celebrate Easter Sunday with a centuries-old fireworks show.

The big cart called the "brindellone" has already arrived to the Piazza, brought by four white decorated oxen.

This video captures the moment the priest rubs 3 flints together to light the Easter candle and then in turn to light the small rocket shaped like a Dove, the "Colombina".

The Dove will fly out of the Cathedral into the cart and start the "explosion ", or rather, the fireworks show.

🎄🍽🥂As we gather around the table with family, friends, and loved ones during this holiday season and as we draw the curtain on another wonderful year of travel, I am reminded of all the tables we have shared with our clients and guests over the years.

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you - my incredible clients. Whether we've shared a laugh in the vineyards of Tuscany, savored pasta in Puglia, or marveled at the splendors of Venice together, each one of these memories has been a privilege to create.

To those I've had the joy of accompanying on this journey, and to those with whom I've shared the proverbial "table", thank you for your trust, your stories, and for allowing me to be a part of your Italian adventure.

From the bustling trattorias of Rome to the serene countryside of Piemonte, we've shared meals, laughter, and countless "saluti!". Thank you for joining us and for all the memories we have created together!

Your passion for exploring Italy's beauty fuels my own enthusiasm, and I am more excited than ever for the many more journeys that lie ahead.

So, I raise a glass toasting to a year of "la dolce vita" and look forward to our upcoming tours as we welcome guests to the table over the new year and new season. 🥂🇮🇹

Here's to the tables we've shared across Italy, the hearty laughs that echoed off ancient walls, and the culinary delights yet to discover.

Here's to you, to Italy, and to many more unforgettable experiences in 2024!

Grazie mille, and as we say in Italy, "a tavola non si invecchia" - at the table, one does not grow old. Saluti! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! May your New Year be filled with peace, joy, and travel! 🎉🎊
