My Italian Favorites
Oh Italy how I love thee…let me show you the ways….
- lemons the size of softballs
- that make limoncello
- biscotti
- to go with the robust espresso
- served on Italian pottery
- Deruta is my fav
- the history, especially Rome
- and the Colosseum
- Florentine leather shoes and gloves
- the green rolling hills
- dotted with cypress trees
- cafe life
- the people, so welcoming
- and the sound of the language..when spoken sounds like angels singing
- speaking of singing…the opera
- speaking of hot gorgeous men(oh, I guess I wasn’t speaking this one out loud) Raoul Bova
- Raoul Bova, yes he deserves 2 entries
- and the bright sunshine
- that sets over the Mediterranean Sea
- Palazzos and Piazzas
- and frescoes
- in Venice, the only city of its kind
- listening to Vivaldi
- sipping Bellinis
- villas
- in Tuscany
- with terraces full of olive trees
- that produce lots of cured olives
- and the nectar of the Gods, known as olive oil
- the best of which comes from Lucca
- fresh basil in fragrant bouquets
- used in pesto
- Vespas
- and the stylish women driving them
- all dressed in the best Italian fashions
- going to Enotecas
- or Osterias
- and Trattorias
- to eat fresh pasta
- an sip the wine that is so red and inexpensive
- and the creamy gelato
- my new Italian blog buddies
- visiting
- and dreaming of staying there…

Robin-what a fantastic and fabulously written list! While reading I would think of something and there it would be on the next line. One more to add…….hidden surprises found while strolling thru alleys!
Oh, great addition Denise!

well if you mentioned Raoul Bova twice I think also Monica Belluci should have her place, is gorgeous !! And love all the things you’ve listed and will add: pepperoncini (especially spaghetti aglio, olio pepperoncini – my favourite!)
Good point Mihaela. Thanks for those fabulous additions!
