Are you going to Italy this summer? If so, you must be very excited! Before you go, you’ll have lots of decisions to make on what to bring and not to bring. Here are a few tips to help you get started. First of all, make sure your passport is up to date… I know it sounds [...] One of the most unique and beautiful tourist attractions in Calabria in my opinion is, “la Chiesetta Di Piedigrotta” in Pizzo Calabro. Pizzo Calabro is a picturesque fishing town on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria and la Chiesetta Di Piedigrotta is actually located on the road into town on the SS 522, about 4km from the [...] I’ve made lots of friends through sopressata… I really have.

With its silver/green leaves, its fruit and the oil it produces… the olive tree is nothing short of AMAZING. What’s not to love about the olive tree? It is referenced throughout history, religion and sports and used as a symbol of peace and glory. The [...] My birth name is Peppino… so I fall under Giuseppe and get the phone calls wishing me a Happy San Giuseppe every year. For Italians, your saint day is like your birthday. Zeppole are THE treat on San Giuseppe. What’s better than Zeppole you may ask? Chocolate covered Zeppole of course!! Complements of my sis and [...]
It doesn’t matter where you are in Italy, there are always groups of Italian men chatting in circles about life, calcio, politics and more. The passion in their voices, the gestures, the facial expressions… it’s priceless! On another note… I booked a trip yesterday. I’m headed to Calabria next week. Why?… Why not? Thanks for the [...] |
