Todo Modo

“Todo Modo is a small kingdom of bookish cool in Florence, Italy, with a terrific selection of books and magazines (was v. tempted by a few editions I have not seen that would have pushed the capacities of my luggage), a line of classics and posters designed and published in-house, and a choice selection of office supplies. I visited the location that has an airy, plant-hung cafe bar and noticed people reading, talking, and drawing, including a girl who had brought a cactus along with an assortment of fabriano pencils to set up camp on a suspended desk. Took home a copy of Orlando.”

“my husband and i stumbled in here on a hot, extremely crowded summer day in Florence and I immediately felt at peace. the bookstore has a nice selection of books in english, plus a cafe with tables and people hanging out. i created my list of "dream places for a book tour" literally so that i could put this place on it and not forget it for someday”
