We are in the historic center of Scicli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where among medieval columns and porches stand the baroque domes of the cathedral. Among oleanders, olive trees and flowers, the scent of the bakery 50 meters away wakes us up in the morning. Here the specialty is the so-called “Testa di Turco”, […]

We are in the Roman Centumcellae (Civitavecchia), founded by Trajan around 106 AD as the port of southern Etruria, and still being an important seaport, it would be perfect to dock your boat ready to sail the seas to discover the treasures of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This is a place that has been chosen since […]

It’s early October and since the heat hasn’t yet given way to fog I decided to walk in the gardens under the house. The city offers me many opportunities but with the little time my job leaves me I really wonder what I need them for. Today I took my detox moment, as I call […]

A mygola kitten and climb over the wall, as if to say “follow me”. There is a smell of jasmine. Let’s take a few steps and, turning the corner of the country road, opens the courtyard where once the children used to play football during recreation. Today, however, it is a farm. The rectangular square […]

Ravenna, nestled between the rolling hills of Emilia Romagna and the Adriatic coast, city of mosaics, art and picturesque streets and monuments that tell stories of great emperors and monarchs.

Imagine such a scenario: our vintage Fiat 500 setting off from the centre of Perugia, descending and ascending along the sinuous lines of the hills surrounding the city. Here, among cypress and oak trees, we wind our way, perfectly paved, to the various villas, which tell us the story of a residential area, peaceful and […]

Our autumn Saturday begins with a walk among autumn colors in Bassano del Grappa, a pretty medieval town located in the Vicenza area.

Your dream of a villa in an exclusive, sheltered and sunny place but at the same time reachable in five minutes from the center of Rovereto is finally achievable.

Today we are going to Piazza Armerina, a municipality in central-eastern Sicily located in the Erei mountains at around 700 m above sea level.

This morning we scattered the tables among the olive […]

We walk through the districts of the Ispica countryside, where blades of grass lie prone to the constant blowing of the sea breeze, laden with swollen dewdrops in which the sun is reflected in the turquoise sky.
