Little Secrets of Florence (iFlymagazine.com KLM)

TheFlorentine’s Marco Badiani recruited by KLM for short film

Being in the international public eye as the city’s longest-running English-language newspaper has its perks. When KLM’s iFly magazine was looking for someone to star in their short film dedicated to Florence, they called us. The guide would spend two days with a troupe, showing KLM flyers and readers the best of the city, focusing on less touristy areas, artisans, art and food.

Thrilled to be asked, we “gave” them our boss, Marco Badiani, director of The Florentine. Who better to show people around than a bona-fide Italian with international flair. It doesn’t hurt that he is over six feet tall and well dressed, too. Marco showed the troupe a good time, ate lampredotto, walked all over the Oltrarno and discussed Medici history earlier this fall, and finally the result is live.

See for yourself the beauties of Florence, guided by The Florentine.

The film is available on iFly Magazine (the paper version has a related article) and will be screened on international KLM flights. www.iflymagazine.com
