In the Autumn of 2011 huge land slides created devastation on the Cinque Terre, the jewel of Liguria in North-Western Italy. By all reports the Cinque Terre reopened for business in time for Easter 2012 – 90% open at any rate – and for a town that was buried in 13 ft of mud that …

In 2010 we spent five days AT A RENTED FARMHOUSE near Castel del Piano, some 20 km from the Abbey Sant’Antimo. We had heard about this abbey, where you could listen to Gregorian chanting, so we included it in a day trip in our baby Fiat. The tinier the car, the better on Tuscan back …

I have been scouring our photograph collection for Valentine Day post prospects, and perhaps unsurprisingly the collection that made their way into the Romance Folder were all from Italy. But how was I to choose? First of all I thought of MILAN and our romantic twilight by the Navigli Canal, walking afterward by the roman …

Montepulciano in TUSCANY is famous for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a wine that I had read about in several books. In a confusing contradiction, there is a grape variety called Montepulciano, but they are not used in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The wine is named after the town, not the grape variety. It is actually …

Today the world can go do it’s own thing. I am going to be Seduced by a Southern Italian – AGAIN. B.H. is still working, so as we both want to travel as a couple this leaves us with three months per year travel. A lot by many standards, but not enough for my dreams. …

It might be obvious, but the first thing to strike me about Portovenere in Liguria, Italy, was the waterfront. The local bus from La Spezia deposited us right beside the ocean, where I could indulge in my favourite past-time of boat watching. This area is known as the Bay of Poets, due to it’s popularity …

It is hard to imagine that elsewhere there are four cathedrals larger than this gothic cathedral in Milan. It is also hard to comprehend that it took six centuries to complete. I tried to resist thinking of the one room chapel we found in the hills of Andalucia, Spain. They are both astounding in their …

I admit that it was my thoughts of wine and cheese this Friday afternoon that led me to this photograph of Ceriana. On afternoons in Ceriana, I would arrange the wine, bread and cheese on a tiny table that we squeezed onto the balcony. From our perch, we had a bird’s eye view of life …
