Ciao a tutti,
It is grape harvest time all over Italy, a busy and exciting time. Teams of workers in the vineyards undertake the backbreaking task of selecting and picking the grapes and transporting them to the winery as quickly as possible. In a dedicated feature we explain what happens next, looking at the following phases in the art of making white, red and passito wines.
September marks also the beginning of the school year in Italy with children preparing to return to their classrooms. If you are thinking about moving to Italy with your kids look for tips in Karen Stromans' account of her daughter's first year in an Italian school.
For those enjoying cycling tours or simply a special day activity immersed in nature, we propose the popular 44km cycle path from San Candido in Alto Adige to Lienz in Austria.
The path attracts families with children, couples, groups of friends, the young and not so young and serious cyclists too. A great chance to enjoy the mountain in your shorts just before it gets cold again.
Arrivederci a tutti,
ITALY team
