Picture it. It’s early evening on the Ponte Vecchio, and as the sun slips below the Tuscan countryside in the distance a cold snap takes over. You reach the Via dei Guicciardini and there, marking the corner of the Piazza Santa Felicita, Sonia and Aldo are waiting for you at La Pelle. Aldo will size you up immediately, and you have options. He knows his family’s work, they’ve been at it for over 40 years. It is a true family business, and the product is worth so much more than they charge. You will leave with the perfect jacket, a great pasta recommendation, and the widest grin you’ve had on your visit. Do not miss the opportunity, it is well worth it.
