Wereldberoemd vanwege het Baci-chocolaatje. Maar aan zoetigheden is er meer te vinden in deze moderne en tegelijkertijd middeleeuwse stad

Wie door de Corso Vannucci loopt kan hem zomaar missen: Caffè Sandri, klein zoals hij is. Toch is deze pasticceria dé plek om in een oogopslag te zien wat Perugia aan zoetigheden, naast chocolade te bieden heeft. Achter glazen vitrines liggen de lekkerste cakes, taarten en inderdaad chocolaatjes. Opvallend zijn de banketstaven in de vorm van slangen: torciglione genaamd, gelijkende op waterslangen die leven in het nabijgelegen Trasimenomeer en een van de oudste zoete recepten uit Perugia. Op mijn tocht door deze kleine stad zal ik nog veel meer oude recepten tegenkomen. Aan de bar bij Sandri bestel ik een koffie en een chocolaatje. Het zal niet de laatste zijn van dit weekeinde.

The Marchigiani Ways

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia

The people – the Marchigiani are unbelievably stubborn and inflexible in my opinion. Not strikingly positive qualities at first glance you might think? And indeed, perhaps one of the reasons why tourism has been slower to take off in the same way as other areas of Italy.

For example, the Marchigiani still take their three hour lunch break each day. A concept which is absolutely alien to me as I’m doing well if I get time to eat a Pot Noodle at my desk while typing and talking on the phone simultaneously. When we were renovating our house in Marche, I remember flying into Ancona just before lunch and driving south along the A14 to get to the office of our Architetto. I was surprised to be met with the news that he was just going home for lunch for several hours, so perhaps I could wait until he returned. Initially I was surprised, even irritated, but then realised I actually admired this adherence to his values – why would he compromise on his lunch with his kids just because I had flown across Europe to meet with him?[…]

See on Scoop.it - La Gazzetta Di Lella - News From Italy - Italiaans Nieuws

Il presidente della Repubblica, Giorgio Napolitano, ha inviato a Sua Maestà il Re Willem-Alexander d’Olanda il seguente messaggio: “Maestà, in occasione della sua incoronazione, che coincide con la festa nazionale dei Paesi Bassi, voglia accogliere i miei più fervidi auguri per il felice inizio del suo regno e per la prosperità del popolo olandese. Paesi Bassi e Italia sono legati da una sincera amicizia, costantemente approfondita sul piano bilaterale, nella cornice europea e nel comune impegno atlantico. Il contributo dei nostri paesi - entrambi fondatori della Comunità - è oggi prezioso per l’avanzamento del processo d’integrazione europea. Nella certezza che la solida amicizia intrattenuta con Sua Maestà la Regina Beatrice continuerà a ispirare i nostri futuri rapporti, formulo voti di benessere per la sua persona, la famiglia reale e tutto il suo popolo”.

Italiaanse klassieker: Peperoni farciti - De Smaak van Italië

See on Scoop.it - La Cucina Italiana - De Italiaanse Keuken - The Italian Kitchen

In Piemonte zijn ze, misschien wel nog net iets meer dan in de rest van Italië, gek op gevulde groente. In dit geval worden paprika’s gevuld met rijst. Deze peperoni farciti kun je zowel warm als koud eten. Als antipasto of als bijgerecht. Als hapje tussendoor of als lunch, oftewel altijd!
