For The Love Of Italy!

Produce!

Our recent trip to Italy has been my inspiration for this post.  My Italian roots have been reinvigorated with the love of all things Italian; namely the country, culture, history, style, food and family. 


Bello Bellagio!

 Venice
 
 Nougat!

 Colourful Burano!

 Sicilian Cassata!

Cassata is a rich cake containing liqueur, layered with ricotta, candied fruit and chocolate; typical of Sicily.





 Snapshots  OLovely Taormina!




 


We met this cute little fellow, Gordino, enjoying his day on the beach at Letojanni. When he wasn't playing with his ball in the water he was sitting on his beach mat, entertaining the beachgoers. We saw him again the next night, strolling along The Corso at Taormina.

Mount Etna by day & by night! 
 



 Catania!


 Rome!




 Limoncello!

Limoncello  (sometimes spelled lemoncello) is an Italian lemon liqueur mainly produced in Southern Italy, especially in the region around the Gulf of Naples, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the coast of Amalfi, and islands of Procida, Ischia, and Capri. It is also produced in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Apulia, Sicily and Sardinia.



Salute!
