A friend just returned from a trip to Florence, Italy. At my recommendation, she visited Il Torchio, an exquisite paper-making and book binding shop on a winding old road of the city.
Erin, the owner, remembered me. Look closely at the guest register in the bottom of the photo, it’s opened to a page from my 2010 visit, with a Dancing Lion Chocolate business card & Hot Drinking Chocolate recipe. It was one of my final days in Firenze before beginning my Master Chocolatier Course in Tuscany.
Select the papers and binding style, and Erin will custom-make a book just for you. If you’re ever in Firenze, Il Torchio is a place you shouldn’t miss. ~Rich
