Ciao a tutti,
"When the lamp is shattered
The light in the dust lies dead-
The rainbow's glory is shed.
Sweet tones are remembered not:
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot."
Percy Bysshe Shelley
This week you cannot miss our guide to the Euganean Hills in the Veneto region which inspired Shelley to write the lines above. The whole area is a nature reserve, famous also for its hot springs and mud cures, it offers a fantastic environment to walk and hike. Check out our guide to the area and we hope you will include it in your next trip to Italy.
Whether you are planning to tie the knot any time soon in Italy or you simply like new ideas for your Italian themed dinner parties, we have some interesting suggestions for you ranging from decorations with Freesias or Sunflowers to Lemons or Tomatoes. Enjoy the lovely pictures.
The response to our call to share your Italian Stories has been amazing. We thank you so much for sharing your stories with us and our readers.
This week Susan's story took us from the hot weather and desert colours of Saudi Arabia to the gentle sun and green landscape of Tuscany.
In the meantime please keep them coming - they provide such an interesting look into everyone's relationship with Italy.
Arrivederci a tutti,
ITALY team
