Dario Cecchini :: Antica Macelleria Cecchini |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dario Cecchini descends from a long line of butchers and has recreated an antique-style macelleria on the site of the family shop which was destroyed during the war. As well as being an extremely creative butcher and an excellent cook, he's a showman who has done a lot to promote Panzano and traditional food. Dario Cecchini is famous as a propaganist for bistecca alla fiorentina. His shop is a tourist attraction as well as a place to buy unusual cuts of fresh meat and prepared meats. |
