LET’S DISCOVER FLORENCE WITH RAFFAELE BIAGIOTTI
As a Chiavi d’Oro Concierge in Florence, here are a few tips to those visiting the city to help them get the most out of their stay.
26
Born and raised in Sesto Fiorentino, a town located six miles from Florence, I am 44 years old. Passionate about good food and art, I have been always attracted to the hotel business and professional hospitality. Looking back on my career, I learned the basics at the top: I began my first hotel experience in 2008 at the grand opening of the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, where I was hired as a Guest Service. I moved to the Brunelleschi Hotel in 2011, working as a
Receptionist/Concierge, and 3 years ago I achieved one of my goals: the Golden Keys. Special thanks for this to Sergio Iannotta, whom I call my ‘Maestro’. In my private life, I have a 10-year marriage to keep alive. In the spare time, I drive a Vespa, DJ, and take photographs. I can often be found out and about with my DSLR, looking for original pictures to take. And, last but not least, I am the 24-hour non-stop father of an active 7 year-old.
