FLORENCE
With Delfina Pinardi
For Delfina Pinardi, co-founder of BLAZÉ Milano, Florence is more than a city—it is a living masterpiece. Few places in the world can claim such a concentration of genius: from Leonardo da Vinci and Dante to the Medici, Machiavelli, Brunelleschi, Galileo, and Giotto. Their legacy continues to define a city that helped shape the course of human history. After years spent between the world's fashion capitals, Delfina returned to Tuscany. Florence offered her the perfect balance: the slower rhythm and beauty of a smaller city combined with easy access to Milan and Rome, where BLAZÉ Milano has its headquarters.
