From Italy With Love: A gorgeous escapist summer read for women!

Product Information

In a world where most products are mass produced, we're showcasing the incredible artisans who still create amazing things by hand. The precision, the customization, the delicate perfection, the love for the art - all combined provide a unique perspective into what keeps traditions alive. We travel throughout Italy to meet some of the country's most remarkable makers as they teach the next generation of apprentices the skills that can't be written or taught in a classroom. From glass blowing in Venice, olive oil making in Tuscany, silk spinning in Como, and the culinary traditions of Emilia Romagna, each episode helps us appreciate the exceptional eye, the discerning palate, the distinct finesse and, most of all, the love of the craft this work requires. Assunta has given up on love. She might run her little trattoria in the most romantic mountain town in Italy, but love just seems to have passed her by.

Just speaking the name “Tuscany” conjures up the most romantic images of picnics, wine, sunshine, and newly awakened love. Remember the movie “ Under the Tuscan Sun?” Of course you do. Puglia is, of course, the place for those conical-roofed trulli houses, and they have earned the town of Alberobello Unesco world heritage status. They’re an ideal choice in summer, or indeed any time of the year, as the stone keeps cool when you need it and provides warmth in winter months. There’s something incredibly romantic about connecting with nature and the history of man, sitting atop the crater of Mt. Vesuvius, above the ruins of ancient Pompeii, and seeing modern Italy spread out before you around the Bay of Naples. You’re walking in the footsteps of the gods—Hercules cleared the bandits from around Pompeii as one of his 12 Labors. Corrections are coming as a result of this experience. All of our perspectives have changed; the realities of the way we live will change, too. The days of rampant tourism to certain places will be over. Dance under the stars in front of the Castel Sant’Angelo, lean against the wall of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum, and sip champagne for lunch at one of the charming cafes in the Piazza della Rotonda in the shadow on the Pantheon.

That said, when the glorious day arrives when coronavirus is a thing of the past (this fall? 2021? hurry already!), Italy will return to its status as one of the most desired places on earth, though I imagine a new normal. The pantheon in Rome - precovid19 Kita nuostabi moteris - Montenelo miestelio gyventoja Asunta. Pastaroji mane sužavėjo labiau, galbūt todėl, nes ji subrendusi moteris su didele gyvenimiška patirtimi ir tikrai turi ką papasakoti. Ji vadovauja vietinei užeigai, stebi miestelio gyventojus ir gyvena ramų itališką gyvenimą. Nesukūrusi šeimos, moteris visa širdimi atsiduoda maisto gamybai, rūpinasi senstančiu tėvu ir mano, kad meilė ją aplenkė. Bet...visada yra tas bet! Inevitably, Italophiles have bagged their favourite part of the country and, in peak season, parts of Tuscany, Puglia, much of Capri and the northwestern coast of Sardinia become laden with holidaymakers. All is not lost, and Italy still has some attractive, lesser-known alternatives. Consider Le Marche on the eastern side of the peninsula. It has undulating farmland and ancient hill towns (such as Raphael’s birthplace, Urbino), that easily match any Tuscan counterpart, alongside 100 miles of coastline with plenty of good sandy beaches. It is also significantly more affordable. The Italian language is arguably the most romantic in the world. When non-Italians hear it spoken, it’s music to the ears – never mind that the words are just sounds that do not make sense! Get the Recipe: Spinach Orzo Salad Meatballs and Sauce.

Enjoy this make-ahead appetizer with the bold and vibrant flavors of slow-roasted Italian tomatoes. Bursting with intense tomato goodness, these roasted beauties have a fantastic burst of flavor, and they’re great to eat by the handful alongside other veggies, adding Italian flair to your meals. But there was a pleasure to be found in setting a table with her grandmother’s china, her good crystal and bone-handled cutlery. In having a cloth napkin and pouring a glass of ruby red Aglianico wine.’
