Ciao a tutti,

Did you know that Italy has its very own astronaut in space right now?- He has become a bit of a Twitter celebrity because of his great Italian-centric insights into life on a space shuttle and the amazing images he shares. One of his first tweets from space was: "The problem is that, as Italians, we have a very strict way of eating, and that breakfast broke every single rule that we have". Read more about Astro Paolo here.

Of course, Italians are more well known for exploring the fine art of cuisine rather than the outer depths of our galaxy and this year is a pretty special one. It is 100 years since one of the greatest Italian gastronomes passed away - Pellegrino Artusi. Read about his amazing contributions to Italian and world cuisine here. There is also the recipe of his famous "Crostini di fegatini di pollo".

With that savory delight we leave you this week hoping that you will get a chance to look up at the stars while enjoying a chicken liver crostini and seeping a glass of fine Italian wine.

Arrivederci!
ITALY team

Borgo Belvederi

Borgo Belvederi is a magnificent and secluded ancient hamlet, nestled on top of a green hill about 2 miles from the city of Camerino, in Le Marche.

Overlooking the valley, the eight homes of the Borgo offer five-star accommodation in a unique setting, not far from the sandy beaches of the Adriatic, the tall Sibillini mountains and some of the most famous cities of art of Central Italy.

Enjoy the large scenic pool, or wander around the Borgo and its surrounding chestnut forest. Discover the nearby picturesque villages, ancient retreats, ghost towns and medieval castles, or just relax by the small piazza sipping our own label wine.
