Suggestions on where to go when you come to Italy.Le Cinque Terre
Le Cinque Terre are both a region in Liguria and the wine that comes from it: A monument (successful, I might add) to people's determination to eke something from the soil.
Also, a recipe for Buridda, a Ligurian fish stew.Le Murge
A number of years ago, my fiancee and I went to Puglia for a vacation. It's a beautiful area, and virtually unknown to those living in the rest of Italy.Tasting in Piemonte:
Just got back from a wine-tasting trip to Piemonte; some thoughts about this kind of trip, and a few words on vintages.San Galgano
San Galgano the saint renounced wealth and power. The abbey named after him now has one of Italy's most beautiful lawns -- in the nave.Dagli Etruschi a Sodoma
A day in the Sienese countryside, on the path of the Etruscans and one of the Masters of the Renaissance.Verona, The Florence of the North?
Many people say Verona is the Florence of the north... Is it? Also, Pastissada de Ceval, a delicious Veronese stew.Growing Pains: San Piero in Lamosa over the Centuries
San Piero in Lamosa is a monastery near Lake Iseo, not far from Brescia (east of Milano, in Lombardia). Very pretty, and well worth a visit.Il Museo Dell'Annunziata di La Morra
Renato Ratti began assembling this collection in the 60s, and Massimo Martinelli is still adding to it. It's fascinating, and if you visit the Terre del Barolo you should definitely go.Rimini
A detour to a town that began life as an Etruscan settlement, and is now a mecca for fun-lovers of all kinds. But that's not all: There are some spectacular artworks to see!San Gaetano
One of Florence's few Baroque churches, a beautiful oasis where few tourists go.San Gimignano: La Cittá delle Belle Torri
A beautiful town, with wonderful wines.For a more detailed overview of the recipes and other information on the site check the General Recipe Index.
