  • After eating Lampredotto at the market, my second favorite thing that I did in Florence was to visit the Museo Galileo [www.museogalileo.it].

  • Our first stop that morning would be Coop Caseria Castelnovese, a Parmigiano Reggiano factory in Modena. We pulled up into a somewhat non-descript industrial looking building and were let into a large rolling back door of the factory.
