My Mélange: My Italian Favorites

August 14, 2007

Oh Italy how I love thee...let me show you the ways....

lemons the size of softballs
that make limoncello
biscotti
to go with the robust espresso
served on Italian pottery
Deruta is my fav
the history, especially Rome
and the Colosseum
Florentine leather shoes and gloves
the green rolling hills
dotted with cypress trees
cafe life
the people, so welcoming
and the sound of the language..when spoken sounds like angels singing
speaking of singing...the opera
speaking of hot gorgeous men(oh, I guess I wasn't speaking this one out loud) Raoul Bova
Raoul Bova, yes he deserves 2 entries
and the bright sunshine
that sets over the Mediterranean Sea
Palazzos and Piazzas
and frescoes
in Venice, the only city of its kind
listening to Vivaldi
sipping Bellinis
villas
in Tuscany
with terraces full of olive trees
that produce lots of cured olives
and the nectar of the Gods, known as olive oil
the best of which comes from Lucca
fresh basil in fragrant bouquets
used in pesto
Vespas
and the stylish women driving them
all dressed in the best Italian fashions
going to Enotecas
or Osterias
and Trattorias
to eat fresh pasta
an sip the wine that is so red and inexpensive
and the creamy gelato
my new Italian blog buddies
visiting
and dreaming of staying there...
