Jennifer Tattanelli - Spring is coming..

Dear all,

I’m writing from my beloved Palm Beach. It has been such a month full of emotions for me.

I’m working hard to learn dancing for the Cancer Alliance Dance Night Gala competition! This fundraising event will support many families who cannot afford cancer treatments and all the many others costs (utilities, loss of salary, home assistance and more).

I’m updating my Instagram every day, there you will see me dancing and finding all the news! Here you are the link if you want to participate!

DONATE FOR THE CANCER ALLIANCE

As of today we have 30 donors and $9,759.45, my goal as dance performer is to reach minimum $25,000. This will help 20 Families for their treatments needs for 2 months and believe me every donation counts for this cause.

This newsletter reaches 15,484 customers every month, please even $1 dollar each will make the difference and it will mean the world to me.

Tag me in your stories, write to me, stay in touch with social networks and if you need a special personal shopper session online.

PALM BEACH...

The weather here in Palm Beach has been quite chilly lately and yet it is enjoyable to stroll by the beach and breathe the fresh air.

I told you to come and visit!!

FIRENZE...

But now let’s talk about Florence!!

The colder weather has crept in, but there’s something special about this time of year when things quieten down a little and hats and scarves come out for strolls in the crisp air. As always, there are the many museums and ever active cultural calendar to keep us busy on these darker evenings. 

But first, a bit of news from the city’s art scene: the public can now visit the Florentine civic museums’ depository, recently inaugurated at the Santa Maria Novella museum complex. Over 4,5000 works that are normally hidden from public view will be on display in the 1,100 square meter space. 300 works are currently installed in the recently renovated rooms that are spread across three floors, with many more to join them over the coming months. Guided tours will be held on Saturdays starting from February, organized by Muse (www.musefirenze.it).

If you're a fan of art, culture, and gastronomy, then February is the perfect time to visit Florence. The city is buzzing with exciting events and activities that will satisfy your cravings for all three. The Taste Italian food showcase takes place at Fortezza da Basso from February 3-5, featuring over 600-plus producers who will present their specialties. 

After sampling so many Tuscan delights, you may as well continue with the world-famous Tuscan wine! Chianti Lovers and Rosso Morellino opens to the public at Stazione Leopolda on February 18 as part of the Tuscan wine preview week. Hundreds of labels will be available for tasting, giving you the chance to explore the region’s vino all in one place.

Maybe a bit of movement to follow all that dining! Danza in Fiera is the large-scale international dance event held at Fortezza da Basso from February 23-25, under the slogan ‘All beats to dance’. It brings together the best in the industry, with professionals, dancers, choreographers and, of course, dance fans!

It’s also the month dedicated to love! Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a romantic stroll by the Arno River, and then check out the Romeo and Juliet exhibition at Fondazione Zeffirelli! On display until February 18, over 30 costumes by Danilo Donati from the 1968 hit film directed by Franco Zeffirelli are on display, allowing you to admire all the details of the stunning pieces. 

February is a great time to enjoy typical traditions, with Carnival ensuring the streets are packed with colorful costumes, music and dancing. Dating back to the Middle Ages, we often associate it with the lavish balls of the 18th century. Today, you’ll see kids (and not only!) throwing coriandoli (confetti) and wearing fancy dress to mark the occasion. Make sure to check out the Cascine Park also: it’s host to a panoramic wheel and carnival-themed fun is planned for just below. 

Carnival sweet treats are firm favorites, with scented specialties like frittelle di riso (fried doughy rice balls) and cenci (sweet, crispy pastries) filling Florentine bakeries. You should definitely try schiacciata alla Fiorentina, Florence’s very own dolce made around this time of year. It’s a low-sugar flat cake with an orange flavor. Traditionally made in a rectangular shape, it’s adorned with the city’s symbol, the giglio (lily). Enjoy!

Have a wonderful February!

Yours,

Jennifer
