Buongiorno tutti! We are winding down the last week of August and no one is more excited than us to bring on the (hopefully) soon fall season with plenty of news on the horizon. One of our latest articles tackles a few towns in Italy that we think deserve a closer look. We also talk to Mary Tedesco, founder of Origins Italy, a company that helps people track down their Italian lineage.
This week we are all about Venice since the 72nd Film Festival is slated to take place the first week of September, we have all of the latest news about which films will be showcased at #Venezia72. This is a wonderful chance to discover a lesser-known side to the popular destination known for its romantic corners and sultry squares.
We head down south to Puglia to discover an artisan gelato maker in the ‘white city’ of Ostuni in order to discover passion and soul, all in one cone. Or stick to Naples where top pizza makers will set up shop the first week of September along the promenade. Browse our experiences section for ideas on cultivated tours handpicked by our expert staff.
Brush up on your Italian with our fun dual-language articles on everything Italian, keeping with the Venice theme we focus on the Venice Film Festival origins and offer these eight handy phrases to help you sound like a local. Our recipes of the week include a shockingly easy pasta dish made with zucchini alla nerano, or how about a very tasty seafood cannelloni made with fragrant red prawns.
Our latest properties for sale include a stunning panoramic apartment in an old watch-tower in Florence, Italy, or this prestigious poolside villa in San Lorenzo Nuovo (Lazio). Featured products this week include one of Italy’s oldest candy brands (using all-natural ingredients) and this book of recipes on how to eat like an Italian.
