Fabriano’s 150 Italianen | Nieuws uit Italië | Ciao tutti - ontdekkingsblog door Italië

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

Papierwinkel Fabriano te Rome maakte vanwege 150 jaar Italiaanse eenheid een reeks notitieboeken met 150 belangrijke Italianen in kunst, muziek en wetenschap.

Naast de boekwinkels die ik eergisteren noemde, kan ik in Rome nooit wachten tot ik me te buiten mag gaan aan de mooie schriftjes, kaarten, notitieboekjes en andere papierwaren. De mooiste papierwarenwinkel is genoemd naar het stadje in De Marken waar ik gisteren over schreef, Fabriano.

Een bezoek aan Fabriano brengt gegarandeerd de schrijver in iedereen naar boven. In de winkel aan de Via del Babuino in Rome weet je gewoon niet waar je moet kijken – en al helemaal niet wat je moet kopen. Een deel van de winkel is gereserveerd voor notitieboekjes in alle soorten en maten; groot en klein, zwart en felgekleurd, met en zonder extra opbergvakjes en sluitingen, met en zonder opschrift…

Italianen die stem via Facebook delen riskeren celstraf

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

Tal van Italiaanse kiezers die zondag enthousiast hun politieke voorkeur delen via Facebook, riskeren celstraf. Het fotograferen van een reeds ingevuld stembiljet is namelijk in Italië verboden.

Hieraan herinnert de krant La Repubblica op zijn website. Het zijn vooral aanhangers van de Beweging 5 Sterren van de komiek Beppe Grillo die hun gemaakte keuze via de socialenetwerksite op internet documenteren.

Ook paardenvlees gevonden in Italiaanse lasagnes

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

Er is nu ook paardenvlees gevonden in lasagnebereidingen uit Italië, gemaakt door het bedrijf Primia uit de streek van Bologna. Dat meldt het Italiaanse persagentschap Ansa. Het paardenvlees, niet vermeld op het etiket, werd gevonden in bevroren lasagne van 600 gram.

Het gaat om een eerste positieve test in Italië sinds het uitbreken van het schandaal waarbij paardenvlees opduikt in rundsproducten.



Het Italiaanse product werd uit de verkoop gehaald en zes ton gehakt en 2.400 bereidingen ‘lasagne bolognaise’ zijn in beslag genomen.



Primia gebruikte gehakt van het bedrijf DIA uit Calcinato, dat zijn vlees dan weer haalde bij twee bedrijven uit Brescia. Daar zijn controles aan de gang.



Eerder op de dag had het ministerie van Volksgezondheid al aangegeven dat er geen sporen van paardenvlees werden gevonden in de stalen van bevroren gehaktbereidingen van Nestlé die donderdag in beslag waren genomen.

Giacomo Pasquini: Traditions from Le Marche to the VERTICAL kitchens

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

Family traditions in the kitchen define chef Giacomo Pasquini’s passion for cooking. Memories of sharing simple yet flavourful family recipes with both of his grandmothers have inspired and shaped Pasquini’s culinary skills which he masterfully applies as chef at Vertical Restaurant. I had the pleasure of first meeting Giacomo Pasquini at Feast of Fields where he prepared a delicious, homemade, red fife strozzapretti pasta in a venison corn ragu topped with venison loin. As a native of Italy’s Le Marche region, Pasquini says that “there’s a bad rap for food in North America,” yet Canada has an abundance of quality ingredients with which one can easily prepare a healthy, flavourful meal. He kindly took the time to show me how it’s done in his kitchen at Vertical Restaurant in Toronto’s First Canadian Place. One can sample Pasquini’s delectable dishes with true Italian flavour using the freshest local ingredients available on a daily basis. True Italian flavour means more than food to Giacomo, it’s about connecting; connecting with the ingredients and where they come from. This strong belief of Giacomo’s is quite evident in the many outstanding dishes he prepares at Vertical including Warm Acorn Squash salad with speck and dandelion, Pappardelle in a slow roasted wild boar ragu, as well as his traditional Piadina of Le Marche region. It’s about making the connection between the history of food and how it’s prepared throughout the entire country from the North to the South of Italy. But it’s mostly connecting with people. Food has always had a social aspect to it. On this note, Pasquini explains that one of his favourite times to “share” in the food making experience is during the annual homemade “passata” event which takes place at the restuarant’s spacious rooftop patio surrounded by business towers. Giacomo and his culinary team look forward to this event as a way of connecting with one another. “We all get together surrounded by bushels and bushels of plum tomatoes making sauce, laughing and learning like our families have done for centuries”. The love of food therefore goes beyond the kitchen with Giacomo!

Puglia itineraries

See on Scoop.it - Vacanza In Italia - Vakantie In Italie - Holiday In Italy

Five very different itineraries that will show you the best Puglian views and landscapes.

Guidebooks and visitors rarely praise Puglia for its natural attractions, which seems quite understandable compared to the breathtaking beauty of more spectacular Italian regions like the northern lakes, Liguria, Toscana and Campania. Still, most places wane when measured by these standards, and Puglia can be real pretty outside the tourist triangle of Castel del Monte, Alberobello and Barocco Leccese.

Here is my suggestion for five very different itineraries that will show you the best Puglian views and landscapes.
