Venice sights on the clothesline

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

[…] To me the outdoor clothes lines have become a symbol of Italy. Especially old cities like Napoli and Venice where colourful garlands of socks and shirt sleeves crisscross the narrow alleys or ‘calle’ that mark the paved back entrance of the houses, while the front door face the canals. Along house fronts strands of laundry connect the windows belonging to one apartment allowing a glimpse of the tenants’ private life to be visible in public. It is not hard to deduct age, family size and social status from the items on a clothesline. […]

Paus brengt zomermaanden in Rome door

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

Paus Franciscus breekt met nog een traditie: hij blijft in het hete Rome en brengt de zomermaanden niet door in de pauselijke zomerresidentie in Castel Gandolfo in de heuvels ten zuidoosten van de Italiaanse hoofdstad. Dat heeft de woordvoerder van het Vaticaan donderdag gezegd.

Eerder besloot de in maart gekozen Argentijnse paus in het gastenverblijf Domus Sancta Marta in Vaticaanstad te blijven en niet te verhuizen naar de royale pauselijke appartementen aan de rechterkant van het Sint Pietersplein. Met zijn besluit sluit de paus zich aan bij wat miljoenen Italianen dit jaar doen. Volgens officiële gegevens kan door de economische crisis een op de twee Italianen zich geen week vakantie buitenshuis veroorloven.

Wine and Food from Le Marche in New York

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

Italian food tour… The regional gastronomical tour of Italy continues this week at Acqua where Chef Ivan Beacco conjures culinary hits from Marche.

Located in central eastern Italy, Marche boasts more than 100 miles of coastline along the Adriatic Sea yet remains one of the country’s least known providences. Mostly agricultural, very green and mountainous, it was rural and poor until the 1980s when it began capitalizing on its agrarian past with boutique vineyards and small craft workshops that have blossomed into major international brands (think Tod’s).

Wines and foods of the area are also little known but surprisingly delish. The most common vines are Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Sangiovese and Verdicchio, for example. Regional dishes run from local fish to homegrown olives.

Chef Beacco is presenting a four-course tasting menu – olive ascolane: breaded green olives stuffed with blended ground beef, chicken and pork; Capelli d’angelo ai ceci: angel hair pasta with Italian bacon, chickpeas and shallots; Tonno in panizza: zesty fresh tuna with black olives and tomatoes; and Crema fritta: fried custard cream with pistachio gelato. Paired with local wines, including Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Garofoli”, this is a sure winner for $48 a person.

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

The horse racing event comprises the ‘sport’ part of the Marche Endurance Lifestyle. Sport has an amazing ability to bring people together and the Marche Endurance Lifestyle 2013 does the same. The mega event is all set to take place this year in Italy in a tried and trusted format that shows how sport, business, international meetings and regional promotion can focus the spotlight on two countries, the UAE and Italy.

Last year His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai (the winner of last edition), his sons Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai (who will attend the event this year and who was placed second last year) and Shaikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority (who was placed third), took part at the event.

“The ‘sport’ part of Marche Endurance Lifestyle will consist of the Conero Endurance Cup, scheduled for Saturday, June 15, which will see riders from all over the world challenge each other on a course drawn up entirely within the Conero Regional Park,” says Gianluca Laliscia, the owner of sistemaeventi.it in Italy, and the organiser of Endurance Lifestyle for several years. For the past two years he has been organising the event in Marche, Italy […]
