i'd say pay cipollini a visit but he has a history of stealing people's wives and girlfriends.
he's literally my all time fav cyclist/man-crush ever. :nohomo:

Cipollini married Sabrina Landucci in 1993. The couple separated in 2005. Despite being married through much of his career, Cipollini was regarded as a sex symbol and rumored to be a womaniser. He did little to dispel these notions with comments such as, "If I weren't a professional cyclist, I'd be a porn star"

Cipollini also became famous for extravagant clothing, especially racing uniforms, sporting custom-made skin suits. Some of his memorable kits include a muscle suit, zebra, and tiger prints, and a techno-skinsuit inspired by the 1982 film Tron.
Off the course, Cipollini and his Saeco squad dressed as ancient Romans during a rest day at the 1999 Tour de France, to celebrate Julius Caesar's birthday and to commemorate Cipollini's record fourth consecutive Tour de France stage win. He was fined for wearing an all-yellow outfit while leading the Tour de France; this practice to wear more yellow and even have a yellow bike has since become generally accepted.
These antics violated UCI regulations, which resulted in Cipollini and his team being fined thousands of Swiss francs. The muscle suit fetched 100 million lira (US$43,710) in a charity auction, nearly 100 times the fine. Some organisers, especially Jean-Marie Leblanc of the Tour de France, took offence at his hijinks and he wasn't invited to race in the Tour from 2000–2003, despite being the world champion in 2003. Later in 2003, he drew the ire of the organisers of the Vuelta a España when he quit after the prologue time trial. His team had been invited to compete with the condition that Cipollini participated. He said he was recovering from injury and should not have been forced to race in the first place. Three years earlier, Cipollini got kicked out of the 2000 Vuelta a España after he punched Vitalicio Seguros rider Francisco Cerezo to the ground before the start of a stage.

I'm not sure I'd do the food tasting tour. Walk around the city and enjoy it. There are tons of great restaurants in Florence. Trattoria Sostanza is a great example. If you can get a reservation there you should eat there.
One thing you can do for wine tasting within your parameters (i.e. Don't want to drive) is to see if you can get a bus to Greve. There is an incredible enoteca there for wine tasting. The butcher shop in the main piazza was opened in 1729 and there are some good restaurants around the piazza that won't break the bank.

Just relax.
You could spend a lifetime in just Florence alone and it would never be enough. Just let it come to you.

Went for Florence for the first time a few weeks ago.
We did the lunch and wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano. Probably the highlight of my trip. Tried 9+ wines and ate some dam good lasagna. Also the hosts were great. Also left with a solid buzz.

Nice. I had a person I know recommend that place too.
Did you drive or get a driver?

We got a driver for 8 hours. Think we paid 290 Euros before tipping him.
We went to the Antinori winery as well for a wine tasting. Our tour guide said they spent over $100MM building the winery. Very impressive and modern.
