"…thank you for a wonderful job.  Your entire staff was attentive to our shooting schedule and the details which can befuddle so many who are not familiar with the peculiarities of production crews.  And most important, you made us feel like we were the most important people in Florence. We all left singing your praises.  Thank you very much."
