I’m leaving, on a jet plane.
If I had a nickel for every time I said that. But today it’s true. We’re bound for bella Italia once again, our last visit nearly five months ago. This one will be shorter. Short but sweet. Continue reading Bill and Suzy’s and Peter, Paul and Mary’s Excellent Adventure

For the past decade and then some, Suzy and I have dedicated ourselves to bringing the best of Italy to America. And by best, I mean the stuff that really matters – iconic products that capture the style, lifestyle and life of Italy. Artistic products that hold within them the soul of that country and the passion of their creators. Passion that you can feel, you can touch, you can taste, smell and see. “You know it when you see it,” Justice Potter Stewart once said, referring to something completely different, something just as hard to put your finger on.

In keeping (innkeeping?) with the season, this month’s “featured city” is not a city at all, but rather a look back at our Italian travel during 2012. And our “Italian Memories” travel anecdote is not a single, heartwarming tale but rather a montage of our 2012 experiences. So sit back and enjoy and end of year “best of” collection. And let’s hope 2013 turns out to be as interesting, exciting and eye opening as last year. Continue reading 2012 – The Italian Year in Review

Saturday night marked the first installment of “Olive Oil Tasting – the Bella Italia Way!” Our inauguaral group of 18 guinea pigs squeezed themselves around our makeshift tasting table, placemats set out with a dozen cups of extravirgin olive oil for tasting, drizzling and slurping. It was a tight fit at the table, but with a little EVOO slathered on our guests, everyone was easily able to slip up to the table. Continue reading Oil in the Family

We love Italy. Anyone who knows us or has read this blog knows that. But a couple of days ago we bade goodbye to la repubblica italiana, boarded our LCC jet and winged our way from Europe to Asia, alighting at Istanbul, Turkey’s other airport, Sahiba Gokcen to begin a three day visit. Istanbul, Constantinople. You say tomato, I say tomahto. No matter how you slice this turkey, it is delicious. Continue reading Talking Turkey
