The most important store!

Buona sera folks
Well you guessed it...I  found the best Chocolate store in Florence and it is just down the street and is called Vestri.   They have an amazing selection of taste.  I know a few of you who would LOVE IT.
I must have walked by it a million times and have not noticed it.  Apparently they have 'the best' hot chocolate.  Yummmmmm!  Oh remember the picture below with all of the locks...well I found out what the mystery behind them is.  When a couple fall in love...you know the old carve your name in the tree...well in Florence they put a lock around the bridge rung.  For a long time the police chased people and even put a camera on one bridge.   I think it would make an interesting painting...and I will call it "Romance".
