Ora, parliamo meglio in italiano! Actually not sure if that is correct........
We are attending the Centro Machiavelli school on the Piazza Santo Spirito and spend all our mornings there. Our classes finish at 1pm... just in time for lunch.
Mid morning coffee break we spend in a very nice cafe, the Caffe Ricchi, almost underneath the school.
From the doorway it looks as though it only offers gelato.....but it has very good coffee and so far we have not allowed ourselves to be tempted by the gelato......
The owners are very friendly. Indeed as we had eaten in the Ristorante part last night and they had run out of Tiramisu they allowed us to buy some to take back to the apartment today. It was delicious! And the fish we had there last night was superb. To be highly recommended......
The Santo Spirito church dominates the square. It's facade was never finished.....
and 'our' cafe has several suggestions..... Apparently they had a competition in 1981 for artists to make suggestions and now they are all displayed there.
Not sure which won but I liked the Gucci one!
The square has a market every day. However it can't compare to the markets we frequent in Provence.
There are a few vegetable stalls and then a mixture of not very interesting items.
But the square itself is very nice, this is a view from the classroom.
The school is on the left........
