We hope you had a wonderful week!  This weekend, we are definitely craving something sweet. This photo is from our wine dinner last week, and the Washington Post shared the recipe today! Here is what we have found in our browser history for this week in Italian news:

A visually stunning interview, splotched with philosophy references, with Bruno Cucinelli from Perugia. We love his cashmere, and are very inspired by his business philosophy.

Dailymail goes for a clickbait headline with photos from the most haunted town in Italy. 

This Saveur article delves into the delights along the roads at Italy’s autogrills. An honest and tasty picture of a lifestyle where every bite matters, even at roadside pit-stops. And it makes us miss those coffee-filled chocolates!

An Italian Trio Compete at Cannes, for the first time in a long while.  We can’t wait to see their films!

The New York Times does a full fledged article on the diseased olive oil trees in Lecce. 

The top five most essential Italian cookbooks are profiled by Serious Eats. We stock a lot of them in store – come check them out!  And look for our posts on Our Italian Library for an up-to-date list of which books we have in stock, and why we love them.

In other news, the Ceramics section of our website will be officially live any minute now…stay tuned!

Ci Vediamo!
