We’re feeling sweet this week. After the Lolli-Popes of yesterday, today we ponder a more serious kind of candy–chocolate.
Last weekend, our trusty photographer Susan Sanders headed to Florence and had a great time making her way through the artisan chocolate fair in Piazza Santa Croce, snapping photos and snapping up samples.
More than 30 chocolate artists were present, displaying thousands of chocolate bars of every shape and size alongside chocolate gears, chocolate weights, chocolate coffee pots, chocolate tools, and chocolate fountains.
The event is a yearly one and the piazza was packed with tourists and Florentines looking to get their chocolate fix as the smell of cocoa wafted through the air. Sweet teeth and taste buds were exhilarated by chocolate of every flavor – almond, pepperoncino, lavendar, walnut, pistaccio, and rum, just to name a few.
