It’s been another eventful week. With the tragedy in the waters around Italy swirling all over the media, we choose to stay well-informed on the situation while also feeding you some lighter reading. We hope you are grateful for your week and excited to charge up over the weekend!
We have been posting articles about the migration in the waters around Italy for weeks now. Matteo Renzi writes and op-ed for the New York Times on how the European Union needs to step up and support Italy’s efforts in patrolling these waters to ensure everyone’s security. This is a news piece that we have been following consistently, and this week it exploded as the death toll ran past the thousands.
The Shroud of Turin is back in action for the first time since 2010. If you’re looking to know a bit more about this holy cloth, read up on their official website.
A new exhibition in Milan is exhibiting photographs of Italy like you have never seen it before. “’Italy Inside Out’ offers a chance to examine the people, events and off-the-beaten-path locations that make up Italy.” To us, they also look like some beautiful screen savers.
Did you hear we received an order of a dozen more types of artisanal pasta this week? So we went to Food 52, for 10 easy springtime pastas to make now to celebrate new, fresh, vibrant produce!
This weekend we will be out on the sidewalk at the Georgetown French Market! Some Geribi is going on sale for 40% off, and our Biagioli Ceramics will be 90% off! If you’re looking for a good food deal, we will have all of our Sorelle Nurzia Biscotti for $4, 40% off our gnocchi, gold oil, and select chocolates (plus some surprise items!). Come stop by and say hello!
We hope this weekend your plans involve visiting us!
Ci Vediamo!
