The embodiment of Italy’s artistic heritage, Florence is impossible to resist. A major cultural and commercial hub ever since the Middle Ages, the capital of the grand duchy of Tuscany became one of the richest and most prosperous states with the Medici and Lorena families at its helm. The birthplace of the Renaissance and the Italian language as we know it, a true hub of art and architecture, it is one of the Modern Gentleman’s favourite destinations. Twice a year, the city hosts Pitti Uomo, one of the major events for the fashion and textile industry where thousands of visitors gather from around the world.

Amongst the city’s highlights, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Uffizi Galleries and Giotto’s Campanile. Wandering through the streets of Florence, the Gentleman will be left speechless at the sight of the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio; walking up with Piazzale Michelangelo, he will enjoy truly breathtaking views of the city.

What are the Gentleman’s Florentine favourites? From the trendiest barbershops to the best restaurants, Reda reveals the city’s must-visits!

Blues Barber is the Gentleman’s go-to for a beard and mustache trim. There he will find a welcoming atmosphere with a classic vibe reminiscent of traditional 1920s barbershops.

For a more modern cut, albeit with a classic and traditional touch, he’ll opt for Nicò your Style, where the utmost attention to details will ensure his look remains flawless.

Ahead of a special date or occasion, the Gentleman will stop by Gentlemen's MONDIAL Barber where he will be pampered and given a truly unique look.

Once he’s attended to his grooming needs, the Gentleman will treat himself to a meal in one of his favourite restaurants.

A true bastion of local cuisine, Buca Lapi is the ultimate restaurant where to sample typical Tuscan dishes and enjoy the best wines.

For a bona fide Florentine steak, Il Latini is the way to go. These meat masterpieces will conquer even the most demanding palates.

The Antico Ristoro di Cambi is another culinary highlight. The Gentleman will treat himself to the chicken and fried rabbit, two of his absolute favourites.

Offering the perfect cocktails in a welcoming and trendy environment, La Ménagère is the perfect spot for pre or post-dinner drinks.

Whether for a dinner, an aperitivo or a visit to the Uffizi, the Modern Gentleman will always stand out for his elegance. Reda 1865’s 892246/1 canvas features a Prince of Wales pattern, the perfect cloth for elegant yet contemporary suits. Naturally stretchy, resistant and water-repelling, it will perfectly complement the Gentleman’s Florentine wardrobe.
