Daily Italian Doses | La Bella Lingua

If you are looking for one book this summer to help take your mind to Italy, La Bella Lingua is the only one you need.   Reading it is like taking a bite of that first ripe peach of summer, completely heedless to the juices running down your chin.

Daily Italian Doses | Surviving the Flight

Before you can enjoy paradise you have to get there first.  The daughter of a dear friend of mine wrote this very entertaining article about unique ways to keep things….fun.  Even if you won’t be enduring the long flight this summer this piece is sure to entertain.  Thanks McKenzie Perkins!

….things you should definitely do….

 1.   Stare at people until they stare back. Then look away quickly. As soon as they go back to what they were doing, start staring again.
2.    Play rock paper scissors. Find somebody sitting a short distance away from you. Put your hand in the air and make the rock-paper-scissors motion. If they don’t put their hands up to play, they probably lead boring lives, and you didn’t want to play with them anyway. Pick someone else. This is also adaptable to traffic jams.

Daily Italian Doses | Venice Manners

While we are talking about Venice, let’s talk about manners.  Better brush up on your etiquette or face the authorities.  High on the list?  Throw away your trash and no swimsuits in the main piazza…..

Daily Italian Doses | Venice boat travel

Think a gondola is the only way to go in Venice?  Think again.  I found this great article recently that showed 9 ways to travel by boat.  Personally, Traghetto is my favorite.  You feel like a local but you are scared to death you might fall off the whole time.

Daily Italian Doses | Porchetta

Porchetta.  My great obsession.  Maybe it’s because I should be eating dinner instead of thumbing through my favorite experiences it Italy.

My word of advice to you.  If you see a van parked on the side of the road or in a local market, drop everything and immediately get yourself one of these sandwiches.

All things Italy | Daily Summer Tibits

I’m BACK!!!  Partly anyway!

Life is busy but that shouldn’t mean we can’t enjoy a little tidbit of Italy everyday.  As an addict, I search for anything Italy.  Photos, websites, music, stories and articles.  As I find these, I save them for future use.  I’ve decided to open the vault and share all I’ve found with you.

Little snips of Italy.  Every day.  All summer.

Almost as good as being there in person.  Ok, not even close but better than nothing!!  Let me know if you have found something I should share.

Buon appetito
