Teatro del sale Launch / Sant'Ambrogio

Fabio Picchi is a local legend in Florence, especially in the Sant’Ambrogio neighbourhood where he slowly but surely expanded his culinary businesses over the years. Picchi passed away in 2022, but his memory lives on. From June 15 to 18, SALE – Sant’Ambrogio in Festival will commemorate the food entrepreneur with four days of wholesome community-oriented events.

At a time when many lament overtourism in Florence, Fabio’s son, Giulio, and wife, Maria Cassi, are bucking the trend. By organizing the first edition of SALE – Sant’Ambrogio in Festival, their focus is on celebrating the identity of the neighbourhood and giving back to the local community. “We chose the name SALE as a condiment, the flavour of the place, the vibrancy of Sant’Ambrogio, which is still lived every day by Florentines,” comments Giulio Picchi.
