This pay May-June, I spent a few weeks traveling Italy in this order: Venice -> Florence -> Naples -> Positano -> Rome. It was one of the best trips of my life. The Italians dress with a little more flare, and they aren't afraid to wear bold colors. Florence was probably the most fashion forward, with many high-end brands based there. Ferragamo and Pucci just to name a couple. I was told for menswear, Firenze (Florence) is the place to be.

The Cappelli tie has quite a distinctive silhouette. The outline is more curved and bottle-like rather than straight. Here I've laid one out next to a Drake's and a Hober so you can see the difference:
I thought that was normal with Italian ties. The couple Marinellas I've got have the same shape to them.

Ah yes, Capri. The most beautiful (and expensive) island I've been to.

I just read through the whole thread, it was nice. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I will definately try to make a trip to Naples with money to spend next year; only bad thing is I can't speak Italian at all

With your Spanish you will be better off than somebody who only speaks English...
