I have a soft spot for sherbets. In a few days, maybe I'll hear about restaurants in Roma. A friend of mine is married to an Italian who owns a restaurant in Milano.
Yeah in English we say Florence too (obviously), but I like to say the name of cities/regions/countries in their mother tongue or whatever you call it. (i.e. will not call French "Paris" by it's Italian name "Parigi", etc). I may sound silly but I feel like it respectful to the place...? Hm that sounds even sillier. Oh well :P

ooooh. We aren't going to Milano... but we are going to Firenze :)
Firenze! The 'David', the Dome and so many other things. Enjoy the visit!
(In french we say 'Florence' for 'Firenze'; figured it out after a while, then got wowed by pics from the city)

I didn't feel too proud for taking a while to associate the two names... Thanks for mentioning the actual city name :) They both have a lot of charm.
