Traditional food in Southern Italy

It happens when you’re back in those place where you have lived, and you find all those products that are so genuine, nothing but ‘bio’ or ‘organic’ or ‘eco-something’…just so natural

Let’s start from fried figs, they used to be one of the top dessert for our grandparents, and fortunately they’re still prepared and used by families:

Those are the popular red peppers: traditionally, they’re put at the sun because they need to get dry. Then, the dried peppers can be used to have a sort of peppers-powder to dress pasta or prepare fried peppers:

And here you are a typical kind of pear named ‘pera signora‘ (in English it would be Miss Pear 😁) that is becoming even more important for its uniqueness:

complete products line from pera signora: jam, marmelade, fruit juice, in syrup

Pera Signora is part of Slow Food project, see here for more details

And this is a very giant bread made in Calabria – I think a family of 4/5 people can survive for a month also if eating only it:

Finally, it is worth to mention pasta – more exactly it’s ‘rigatoni‘ with bacon and eggs, or white-Amatriciana, and a little dessert made of choco-profiterols:

If these pictures male you drool and you got hungry, well… enjoy your meal 😁

Japanese-style vs. ’50s-style wedding

Some weeks ago, I wend through these two completely different wedding parties: styles, menu, people, locations, deco and so on… The only thing in common? The amount of things to eat!!

The beginning: an unexpected Japanese-style wedding 😍

and some other Japanese deco and sushi:

And this is the ’50s:

That’s it! And everything ended with lots more weight 🙂

Weekend to Ischia Island

I thought I already posted some of The pictures I’m going to show here in my old article dedicated to Ischia. But I was wrong 🙂

And I think I will convince you to spend a fabulous weekend in this isle, enjoying its wonderful beaches and cliffs and glimpses!

Anyway enjoy them:

Do you think to go and have a ‘direct’ feeling? 😀 If so, just take the right ferry!!

Great Advertising to understand, guess what they mean?

Yesterday I found this nice and challenging article about several advertisements I want ti propose to you. It’s great when you catch up the meaning above all when it’s a little bit complex and not taken for granted.

Let’s start whit this!

A very sticky, or better, very absorben product 😀

so disgusting…

So real!!

I didn’t think that a brand could joke like this with its competitor:

‘Stop hiding problems’ it’s unuseful!

Toys for fashion – Hasbro & Luisa Via Roma 2015

It is called #MakeKidsHappy the new campaign of those two pillars. This year LVR topic for Pitti event was My Little Pony – exactly for Firenze4ever LVR initiative – and several mini ponies has been luxury-restyled in order to be sold and collect funds for SaveTheChildren. Stylists who wore these fantastic characters of the childhood were selectioned among several stars: from Versace to Fendi, Delpozo, Faith Connection, Arora, Cavalli…and obviously the LVR work of art!

Here you are some shots:

I’m guessing how much could they cost?!

So colorful and happy, it’s worth to think about how enjoyable was our childhood life 🙂 (well, exactly as right now!)

Going to Ischia Island

We were a group of four friends, and we decided to spend our weekend in the island. It’s known because it’s very nice, a jewel in the Tirreno sea, very popular for the tourists trips and very expensive too.

But we found this cheap 3 stars hotel and we made it: we left from Beverello port and those are The first pictures:

Nisida Isle – known for its feminine jail

Florence restyling – Pitti power

It’s unbelievable, walking by the usual streets and discover that so many shops has opened in less than 2 days!

I’m guessing when did they work to have a complete brand new store ready for this day..

Anyway this is Pitti power.

Have a look to those pictures which show both the sides of Pitti power:

Here you are some of the top Shop Windows of the city:

And also some esclusive parties with special guests (The famous ones and the ones who think to be famous!):

SHOES!

And weird people, for sure:

feeling like Dante?! — nowadays version of Dante Alighieri

Find the Egypt in Italy

So weird, just back for a wend in Turin, to discover this city I’ve never been before.

Heard people saying ‘there’s the new opening, Museo Egizio, we need to book tickets!’

That’s why I decided to go straightly there, with no tickets. Just have a try.

That’s why after 5 minutes I had to change my plan and go visiting another top piace of the city: Mole Antonelliana, but I’ll write a dedicated post to it. It’s worth enough!

Be back on Egyptian focus and have a look at how contemporary they are:

the eyes were painted to let the dead see what were the ornaments and things left to him by his family

Italian Landascapes that sometimes sound like Japanese paintings

weird tutele for this post, I know… But it’s exatcly what I thought when I look at some mountains while I was on the way back to Florence, after spending a wonderful Sunday on Cala Violino beach. Look at those photos, they show Alpi Apuane with a weird fog and sense of Mystics Don’t they remind you about those static Japanese paintings? Ukyio-e art? See for example this one Maybe it’s not about the landscape… It’s about the different levels they show: they seem to be painted by following several horizontal lines That’s why I thought to create a frame like this one 🙂 really love it! Remember, If you want to see this mystic panorama, go visit Alpi Apuane, the unique Alps that are part of Appennini!
