Ganzo Dinner

 Last Friday I went to Ganzo with a friend.

"Ganzo is a non-profit cultural association created for and run by the students of Florence University of the Arts. It is a project meant to promote integration in Florence, and to encourage and facilitate the communication between students and the city. Ganzo's mission seeks to also share Italy's culinary traditions. The dishes on the menu are chosen and prepared by the students under the supervision of the culinary professors." (ganzoflorence.it)

All students are given three ticket vouchers with 10 stubs each. They can go eat at Ganzo whenever. Dinner costs two stubs though, compared to the one for lunch, but you get two dishes.
