As I walked around the city today, I noticed that all of the coffee shops are adorned with giant chocolate eggs that are meticulously wrapped in pastel colored paper, held together by a large ribbon tied into a pretty bow.
In some of the shops, the displays are the main attraction. The eggs, made in anticipation for Easter, and other festively wrapped sweets, cover any open space, transforming stores into magical lands of creative fruits and candies. The chocolate shop Vestri, on Borgo degli Albizi, 11, is dressed in playful decorations from head to toe.
The shop is brimming with embellished chocolates. The Easter ornaments, overflow onto the entrance way, converting Vestri into a colorful, springtime bouquet.
I stopped to take some pics, and spoke to the owner about possibly watching them make the eggs that usually contain a surprise inside. He said that they have already made all the uova di Pasque (Easter eggs) for this year. But there is always next year. Till then, I cannot wait to unwrap and eat the chocolate egg on Easter day.
