Amici di Italy Magazine,
Ask any Italian you know what they would eat on a hot Italian summer day and I could bet anything you want that mozzarella would be listed in their perfect Italian summer menu.
It would be easy to consider the simple, milky, white cheese as a plain Jane, but as Gino De Blasio explains, if anything it is very much the Keith Richards guitar riff to a Mick Jagger lyrical wordplay. Find out more about the history of Mozzarella di Bufala in his feature on The Queen of Italian Mozzarella.
And this week, even "pizza margherita" rocked on ITALY Magazine as we talked to the master of Pizza Art, Domenico Crolla, who uses tomato and cheese to draw his interesting pizza portraits which include celebrities like Pavarotti, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna, Ronaldo, Frank Sinatra and many more.
If you like the idea of mozzarella and pizza that rock, you will certainly love to find out more about the Summer Jamboree Festival in Senigallia, known as the "hottest rockin' holiday on earth" dedicated to the music and culture of 1940s and '50s America. Vintage atmosphere and rock and roll, rockabilly, hillbilly, swing, doo wop, rhythm'n'blues and boogie concerts, shake the town for nine days, from August 3 to 11 showing off the Italian passion for all things American.
Finally, if you also love classical music do not miss the chance to win two tickets to Gustavo Dudamel's performance of Verdi's Requiem at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA on August 13th and enter ITALY MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY!!!
This year we created a 2013 Italy Magazine desktop wallpaper calendar. We hope you liked the idea and downloaded the first months. It is now possible to download the August page.
A presto!
ITALY team
