Rolling Stones in Florence: Jagger and Richards at dinner in San Frediano
According to rumors, the two stars had been in Florence for about ten days with their entire entourage
Florence, Dec. 2, 2023 - The wonders of Florence and its hills continue to seduce visitors from all over the world, including some well-known and famous faces known to all, young and old alike.
On the 2024 "Grand Tour" that includes sixteen live dates, more than sixty years after their first landing in the United States, a must-see stop is the Florentine Oltrarno, especially after, in 2017, San Frediano was chosen as the "coolest" neighborhood in the world by the Lonely Planet guidebook.
The "rive gauche" is teeming with fashionable clubs, frequented, every day and every night, by people of all ages, settled among in the historic center that merges with luxury. You may happen to meet in any restaurant in the area, sitting nonchalantly , at the table next to yours two rock icons like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones.
It happened a few nights ago at Il Cestello Restaurant, in the little square of the same name overlooking the riverfront.
The band was apparently having dinner there. According to rumors, the two stars had been in Florence for the past ten days or so with their entire entourage made up of sound engineers, producers, service personnel and security, busy working on some songs for a new musical project. The musicians were barricaded, locked away from prying eyes in Daniele Cavalli's Heavy Soul Darling recording and production studio (in Villa Cavalli). It seems that Paul Mc Cartney also made a brief appearance.
However, they are scheduled to leave today. Their musical tour will begin shortly. This is not the first time the Rolling Stones have passed through these parts. Even in 2017, on the occasion of a concert in Lucca, the band had decided to stay in the historic center of Florence.
Especially the frontman in Florence "is at home" and has been thinking about moving to Tuscany with his family for years, the perfect buen retiro setting for a few months a year, also to work on writing new songs. After all, it was precisely with Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts that Jagger recorded the hit "Living in a ghost Town" a few years ago.
The leader of the Rolling Stones is not the first entertainment personality to give in to the lure of the Florentine oltrarno. Let's not forget that at the turn of 1999-2000 the well-known Irish actor Daniel Day Lewis also spent 10 months as a cobbler, for free, in the workshop of Stefano Bemer, the shoemaker known the world over for his wonderful custom-made shoes, which see a cost considered luxury: for a pair of shoes they start at 500 euros.
