Abbazia Benedettina di Sant’Urbano. Apiro, Marche.
An extraordinary example of Romanic architecture. Benedictine Abbey dedicated to Saint Urbano, patron of Apiro in the region of Le Marche
An immense heritage of a highly refined civilization
Cerveteri, the ancient Caere, is perhaps the most famous and spectacular Etruscan archaeological site in Italy. There are few traces of the inhabited settlement while the necropolis is well preserved, made with a real urban plan that makes think of a city of the dead imitating that of the living. The necropolis of Cerveteri known as […]
Five amazing days in Umbria for a Porchetta Tour
May 2018.
We where a small group, just 4 of us 3 from USA and one from England for 5amazing days in Umbria for a Porchetta tour.
We stayed at Alla Madonna del Piatto in sight of Assisi as guest of our gracoius hostess Letizia, We had coking lessons with her and then ate what we had cooked on the terrace over looking a beautiful valley of olives and other plants.
Every day was different, and fun and interesting, Our guide Barbara was wonderful and we had a lot of time to explore the villages we visited and also time to eat and drink and laugh always with a focus on Pork , the pigs and how they lived, how they where prepared for the festival, deboned and stuffed with herbs and salt and pepper and then wrapped and roast . The festival was amazing and we tried pork from many parts of Italy .
Everyone was fun to be with and helpful with our questions , we also had a fine driver and visited vineyards too.

Le Nez Dans Le Vert, Visit to Jura, France
Back from my latest trip to the small French wine region of Jura where I’ve attended Le Nez Dans Le Vert wine event. I had fallen in love with those wines in 2011 when colleagues gave me for my thirties birthday a wine from Jura by Lucien Aviet. Later on, Poulsard became a beloved grape together […]
Stunning beauty, Cinque Terre’s heroic viticulture
Stunning beauty, the #CinqueTerre’s heroic viticulture: a project to relight a whole valley and to build a farm. Nowadays as Samuele said, “you can see why our wines are properly priced ..” Yes, totally! I know that when there is the sun everything looks more beautiful and personally I was starving to see the sun […]
