There's at least two fonts here.

The ampersands differ, and there's a mix of bracketed and unbracketed serifs.

Edit:
Ooops, just noticed the thread title "Elegant serif S"

Hi, this is a custom logo for the "Sudler, Hennessey & Lubalim" made by Herb Lubalin...

Phil, was looking through my old Andresen (Typographics, in L.A.) catalog and found Firenze and Florence with this type of alternate ampersand. A little less similar, but still in the ballpark are Didoni-Vixen, Mod Caslon and Pistilli Roman. These may or may not exist as digital fonts with these same names today. Good luck hunting.

Useless information no135

I have an old (late 70s early 80s, no covers, so no date)Letraset catalogue here that has a Bauer Bodoni Bold NOT italic with the same ampersand.

However all the digital versions I've seen have the more conventional style.
