1. Florence, Italy: Gucci Garden, at Gucci Museo
Pleasures of all senses are piqued at the anticipated Gucci Garden, in the historic Palazzo della Mercanzia that houses the Gucci Museo. Brainchild of creative director Alessandro Michele, the newly unveiled space features a a series of curated Gucci Garden Galleria exhibition rooms, a retail store with one-of-a-kind Gucci merchandise, and a Gucci Osteria de Massimo Bottura restaurant helmed by a three-Michelin-star chef. All manner of ‘Guccification’ is under one roof, suggested by a meander through Gucci paraphernalia, a shopping pit stop, winding down with a sensational meal.
The Gucci Garden is open year-round, with exhibition rooms curated by art critic Maria Luisa Frisa.
