A Glass of Moscato di Scanzo

Moscato di Scanzo: Wonderful (and Precious) Meditation Wine

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

“It’s not a dessert wine. More correctly, Moscato di Scanzo is what we call a meditation wine”, the girl explained.  It took me a few seconds to refocus. I admit that I’m not a great wine connoisseur, and in my mind “moscato” was a synonym of sweet wine, mostly served with cakes and deserts, sometimes …

Comacchio, Simple Charm

Comacchio, Enchanting Canal Town

//  by Simon//  4 Comments

Poorly connected by public transport, out-of-the-way from the routes connecting the main towns of Emilia-Romagna, Comacchio is a little-known gem of northern Italy. The cities and towns crossed by canals are charming and picturesque, aren’t they? I’m not thinking of Venice’s uniqueness (don’t believe to characterizations like “the Venice of the north” or south or …

Cervia, Italy

Cervia, The Town of Salt

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

Unlike many cities and towns in Italy, Cervia, as we see it today, is a rather recent settlement, dating back to the late 17th Century. Well-known as a beach resort of the Emilia-Romagna region for Summer holidays, Cervia actually has a lot of charm apart from its wide beaches. Cervia, the town of salt.  Originally …

Milano Distretto Isola

Milan Off the Beaten Track: the Surprising Distretto Isola

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

The majority of tourists think of Milan as the city for business and shopping. Often, they only spend one or two days in Milan, focusing on the main attractions and landmarks. However, much as I always say that you can’t miss visiting the cathedral and walking on the Duomo rooftop, there’s more to the city. …

Discovering Piceno Through Wine and Food

//  by Simon//  1 Comment

Whether it’s art, architecture, beautiful landscapes or food and wine, Italy never ceases to amaze me. Whenever possible, I try to visit lesser know regions like the superb and wild Basilicata in Southern Italy, or unusual towns like the lovely Porretta Terme in Emilia-Romagna. Italy is a country of incredible diversity, and there are many regions which …

Mantua, One of the Best Cities to Visit in Italy

//  by Simon//  2 Comments

Have you ever heard of Mantua? If not, don’t worry. Despite being one of the most beautiful towns in northern Italy, Mantua is often overlooked, not only by foreign visitors but even by Italians.  Yet, Mantua is one of the best cities to visit in Italy and there’s no reason it should play a minor role in …

Parma's Sparkling Colors

The Colors of Parma: A Photo Tour

//  by Simon//  7 Comments

Parma is famous for its beautiful monuments and excellent food, but colors were the first thing that struck me. Yellow, pink, green, orange, red, make this small city of Emilia-Romagna (a less-known region of Italy which has so much to offer) a joyful place and it’s no wonder Parma is considered one of the prettiest towns in …

How to Make Fresh Pasta - Filling

Bologna… Homemade Pasta and Mortadella

//  by Simon//  4 Comments

If Bologna were to be defined by its food specialties, these would be homemade pasta and mortadella. And while Bologna is beautiful and well worth spending a few days, besides the beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere, food is certainly one of the main attractions. In its simplicity, making egg pasta is an art and I was mesmerized …
