As we bid the month of July farewell, we can’t help get a little excited yet nervous with the prospect of August arriving tomorrow. This summer is flying by!  Here is what we have been reading this week:

1,000 Italians play one Foo Fighters song in an attempt to lure them to play a concert in Italy, The synchronicity in the video is quite amazing. Who knew Italians love the Foo Fighters?

Southern Italy is, er, not having the best time economically.

Italian cowboys, in the American tradition, are beginning to form (could a spaghetti western be on the horizon?)

The LA Times lauds porchetta. We’ve been saying it all along!

Elisabeth Minchilli has released an Eat Umbria app, in a follow up to her other popular Eat apps! We would highly recommend it, and are so excited it is on the market!

We hope this weekend brings you the joy of the last summer month!

Ci Vediamo!
