My love for the mountains is nothing new, nor is my appreciation for Swiss order and care, so it is no surprise that this summer we took a short but very scenic trip to the Canton of Graubünden. From Chiavenna, Spluga Pass, stop at the Viamala gorge and then towards Chur, all on the state […]
You know that sometimes you go far and far away to see beautiful places and you do not know amazing places behind your home.. This is exactly my thought when I discovered Mandello del Lario. I have always passed through Mandello, it is home to Moto Guzzi, I know that there is a museum, but […]
It seems impossible but my last post on the Bienno market exhibition was 4 years ago. I’ve been there something like 10 times in the last 30 years, and it is always magic. You can always find something new, a different way to make or see things. Just two examples here below.. For me it […]
My first “post covid” fight, couldn’t be for a different place than London. I’m so deeply in love with this town since the first time.. I was just 18 and it was my first flight alone.. This time, more than 20 years later it was my nephews first time in London and the big one […]
Two weekends ago I was in Spello, this lovely village in Umbria known for the ‘infiorate’. I have to admit.. I didn’t know them It was one of my mother’s ideas, she’s always so full of proposals!! So here I am writing about this amazing flower experience. Once again, thanks mum! 🙂 +++ Trovate sotto […]
Just a short post on this lovely small village we found during a sunday (not so sunny) trip: Rezzonico. A really small village on the Como Lake, not far from Villa Carlotta and other more famouse places. Solo due righe sulla prima uscita in moto della stagione lungo le sponde del algo di Como. Non […]
Our love for antique markets is immeasurable. We like so much looking around observing people describe their treasures to possible purchasers or try to imagine the uses of things we have never seen before. We are fond of smells and sounds of past times. We don’t know why but sometimes we simply need to adopt old […]
Lo so, ho pubblicato prima la versione inglese di quella in italiano.. Vergogna! Ma non e’ come sembra, non voglio fare quella che ‘se la tira‘ con l’inglese. Anzi! Questo blog è nato anche dalla voglia di non perderla questa lingua bellissima che mi e’ costato tanto imparare! Con la memoria da pesce rosso che […]
Just a few days to see some adorable place in England. 4 days full of pictures, trains and tea. A road (or a rail) trip through some of the most beautiful town or villages I’ve seen. Starting from Salisbury trough Sherborne and Brandford on Avon, ending in Bath. If you love England and his countryside […]
Some weeks ago we discovered this lovely village in the countryside of Rimini. The hills are amazing in this area, is not ‘Toscana’ but something different, higher and more similar to mountains without losing the ‘sweet’ of hills. Amazing! Pennabilli is a little village on these hills and we have the pleasure to be there during […]
