Ready to level up your foodie game? 🌟🍔 Here’s the scoop on Florence’s legendary street food: Lampredotto! 🤩

1️⃣ Name Game: 'Lampredotto' comes from 'lampreda,' a fancy fish once loved by nobles. When it got pricey, locals got creative with cow stomach! 🐄➡️🍞

2️⃣ Sandwich Goals: Imagine tender, slow-cooked tripe stuffed into a crispy roll (called a 'rosetta') with spicy salsa verde on top. 😋🔥

3️⃣ Local Ritual: Florence’s food trucks, known as 'trippai,' are where the magic happens. Lines of locals waiting for their fix make it an epic experience! 🚚✨

4️⃣ Cucina Povera: This dish is a perfect example of 'cucina povera'—transforming humble ingredients into something super delicious. 🍽️❤️

5️⃣ Top Spots: For the ultimate Lampredotto, head to San Lorenzo Central Market, Piazza del Mercato Nuovo, or Oltrarno. Pro tip: I Trippaio di Sant'Ambrogio is the OG spot! 📍👑

When you’re in Florence, a Lampredotto sandwich is a must-try. It’s not just food; it’s history and culture in a bite! 🇮🇹✨

🐎 Today is the last chance to witness the electrifying Palio di Siena 2024! 🏆
Don't miss your opportunity to be part of this centuries-old tradition, where horses race ba****ck around the stunning Piazza del Campo. 🏇

Did you know a horse can actually win without its jockey? If the "cavallo scosso" (shaken horse) crosses the finish line with its hackle still on its head, it's declared the winner! 🤯 This shows the incredible bond between the horses and riders in this unpredictable, adrenaline-fueled event.

Join the passionate Sienese as they cheer on their contrada (district) with pride and rivalry. The Palio is more than just a race - it's a celebration of Tuscan culture, heritage and the thrill of the unexpected. 🇮🇹

Experience the magic one last time in 2024 before the next Palio comes around.
