Europe's kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters, polenta, paramours, poets, political puerility and potentates. Its dreamy light and sumptuous landscapes seem made for romance, and its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine seduces just about everyone. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and gaze at beautiful churches. Naturally you can also indulge in the pleasures of la dolce vita: good food, good wine and improving your wardrobe.

La Tavola Italiana (The Italian Table)

Tue, 15 May 2012 | By connectlocally | Views [442]

The British comic Douglas Adams said; “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” I can draw two concise conclusions from this statement, one; he is insightful, and two; he has clearly never lived in Italy. Having recently moved to Italy with my ... Read more >

Eterna Roma...

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 | By iana1986 | Views [26]

We run, running all the time, running to the people, places, plains, future... But this city always seems to be calm. Really eternal - it haven't changed since thousand years. The same Colosseum, Forum and St. Peter's Cathedral. The eternal city ... Read more >

Rumbling out of Roma Termini with the September sun low on the horizon, I walked the aisle of the packed train with the evening commuters. A single seat by the open window, in a quartet wedged between three chatting businessmen. As I cordially motioned ... Read more >

My Scholarship entry - Understanding a Culture through Food

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 | By kgrames | Views [59]

Perched on a precipice on the skirts of Agerola, I overlook the miniature marine town of Conca, a near 2000-foot plummet directly below. The burnt pink hue of the fading September sun tints the iridescent Mediterranean coastline from famous Amalfi, ... Read more >
