There is quite a network of CS in Florence and we had two opportunities to meet up with them.
The first was at a bar in Florence where there were about 25 people there. It was good meeting all these people who were hosting people from all over the world - however they said because Florence is such a popular place they get over 10 requests a day. While we were there we were invited to a pizza night the following day. This was being held at Pistoria in the countryside of Tuscany.
We drove with our host from Florence, Emanuela, to the pizza party in Pistoria.
The house was an old farm house on an olive farm and had a classic Tuscan view, with rolling hills, old terracotta roofs of houses and olive groves. The hills were misty and the light was golden as the sun was setting - do you get the picture.
There were again many CS to talk and socialise with, people from all over the world. We were told how to order coffee in Italy and what was the best thing to order on the menu.
The pizza making was a very active event. People needing the bread dough and preparing toppings. These included Salami and cream cheese, prosciutto and pecorino cheese (sheep's cheese) and the more traditional tomatoe based pizzas. But the big supise was the desert pizza was NUTELLA PIZZA!! It was good too.
