ITALY IN DECEMBER

The Best Places to Visit in Italy in December – "No matter the season, Italy is a feast for the senses, and if visiting in December means having to substitute a cozy wine bar for an outdoor cafe, no one is a loser. When the weather in northern Italy turns damp and chilly and temperatures become cooler in the southern region, Italians head indoors to museums and theaters, or don a fashionable topcoat while strolling the shops and Christmas markets set up in town plazas. At the end of the day, Italians embrace the season with their usual passion, choosing to celebrate the arts with vigor, shop with flare and feast on dishes flavored with the season's harvest." – Robin Thornley – Source: This story is part of Travel Tips which was found within the TRAVEL section of the USATODAY – "Latest World and US News"
Italy in December – "While most tourists dream of visiting Italy during the summer, there are some who would visit at no other time than in December – and it’s not just because of the Christmas holiday, either." – 27 Nov, 2007 – by Jessica [Spiegel] – Source: Italy section of WhyGo – "More than simple destinations guide books"
Places to Go in Italy in December – "While many people visit Italy in the summer months to enjoy the sun and surf of the extensive coastline, outdoor concerts and meals made from fresh seasonal produce, they may not realize all there is to do and see in Italy during December. However, this primarily Catholic country begins its holiday celebrations early, offering visitors a plethora of attractions and events even during the last month of the year." – Amie Taylor – Source: This story is part of Travel Tips which was found within the TRAVEL section of the USATODAY – "Latest World and US News"

My Family Christmas Eve in Sicily and The Feast of 24 Treats – "I keep coming across articles intensively debating whether the Seven Fish Feast, where seven different fish-based dishes are served on Christmas Eve, is an authentic Italian or Italian-American tradition. As an Italian, I must admit I hadn't heard about it until eight years ago and most of my Italian friends haven't either. Some of my Italian-American friends told me that their families do not follow this tradition at all, while others exclaimed 'Of course we eat seven different fish courses on Christmas Eve, don't you know?!

RECIPES

Italian Christmas recipes – "Christmas is the crowning jewel of the Italian feast of Natale, a three day festive celebration held over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Italians are well known for their love of feasting and the festive period is no exception, with Italian home cooks displaying their culinary prowess across a number of sumptuous courses. The Christmas Eve tradition, known as the Feast of the Seven Fishes, is perhaps the most well known of the three feasts and is characterized by an extravagant seafood menu with its twelve courses supposedly representative of the twelve apostles. As this collection of Italian Christmas recipes demonstrates, festive dishes vary from region to region. Sicilian food blogger, Antonella la Macchia celebrates Christmas Eve with irresistible dishes such as Sicilian cheese pie, Fried cod with cauliflower ‘affogato’ and Cassatelle di Agira – Sicilian stuffed pastries, while Northern Italian chefs the Costardi Brothers’ Red mullet with capers, black olive and tomato would be an excellent choice for your own Feast of the Seven Fishes." – "About us" – Source: GREAT ITALIAN CHEFS – "Inspiring food lovers everywhere"

INFORMATION

4 Italian Myths Debunked – "You’ve heard it said that “things sound better in Italian,” right? I have, for instance, stopped calling it “fruit salad” altogether. Because when I tell my family we’re having “macedonia” for dessert it sounds so much more intriguing. That romantic ideal that many Italophiles (including yours truly) have attached to the sound of Italian words for mundane things can also extend to the Italian stories we hear while we travel through the country. Even if there’s evidence to the contrary, it can be fun to believe stories that just sound good.Well-meaning tour guides or travel writers have perpetuated some Italian myths, perhaps because they didn’t do their homework or because they just like the sound of the myth. Well, I like truths, even if they come at the expense of something that sounds more romantic. So here are four Italian myths, and the truths they hide." – by: Jessica Spiegel – "ABOUT" – Source: Italy Explained – "TRAVEL GUIDE | STORE | BLOG | ABOUT | MAIL"
Five myths about Italy – "Italy may well be the European destination most beloved by American travelers. But stereotypes and misconceptions persist about the country.

Italian Myths – "This article is about “Italian” products that don’t actually exist in Italy – true myths like Spaghetti with meatballs (an Italian-American creation), Caesar salad and Italian soda (successful inventions of Italian immigrants), Fettuccini Alfredo, Italian wedding soup and “Al fresco” dining (specific Italian items mistaken as traditional)." – by: Paolo Rigiroli – "About" – Source:Quatro Fromaggio and Other Disgraces on the Menu – "Fixing Italian food around the world"
Italian Myths & Legends 101 – "While Italy has stolen lots of mythology from Greece (e.g. the Roman Gods and Goddesses are basically just renamed Greek Gods and Goddesses), one cannot deny that Italy itself has quite a few fascinating, sometimes funny legends and myths.

ITALY IN NOVEMBER

November in Italy – "It may be hard to convince someone whose heart is set on sunlit Tuscan hills and sparkling Ligurian beaches that a trip to Italy in November is really a good idea, but anyone who’s on a strict budget will immediately see the appeal." – 9 Jan, 2007 – by Jessica [Spiegel] – Source: Italy section of whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998"
Traveling to Italy in November: What You Need to Know – "When you imagine your dream trip to Italy, chances are very good you imagine sun-dappled piazzas, sunny beaches, sun-soaked hills… Basically, you imagine sun. November in Italy is not sunny. It can still be a great month for a trip to Italy, however, if you’re more focused on saving money than on getting a tan. November is something of a bridge between Italy’s fall shoulder season and the winter off-season, and prices are generally low on things like airfare and accommodation. The trade-off for that drop in price is that the weather isn’t what most of us would consider ideal. Keep reading to find out what to expect from November in Italy, including the weather and what’s on the calendar." – by: Jessica Spiegel – "ABOUT" – Source: Italy Explained – "TRAVEL GUIDE | STORE | BLOG | ABOUT | MAIL"
Visiting Italy in November – "Many travelers planning an Italian itinerary are set on a summer getaway. Daydreaming about dining in piazzas and sunbathing by the sea can be tempting, but it discounts the downsides of high tourist season: bloated crowds, heavy heat and inflated prices. An autumn or early-winter getaway in November is a smart alternative. As long as you don't mind decreased daylight, cooler weather and modified museum hours, traveling to Italy in November can save you money and stress." – Mary Gray, studioD – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Travel Tips portion within the Travel section on USA TODAY.COM – "Latest World and US News"

November Festivals, Holidays, and Events in Italy – "All Saints Day, celebrated November 1, is a national holiday in Italy so many shops will be closed but most top tourist attractions and museums remain open. Some churches that are not usually open may be open on All Saints Day. On All Souls Day, November 2, Italians bring flowers to cemeteries to honor deceased relatives. During November you'll find truffle fairs, music and cultural festivals, and the start of the performing arts season." – By Martha Bakerjian, Italy Travel Expert – Source: Found in the Italy Travel section on about.com
Upcoming Holidays and Festivals in Italy – "Beware: Festival dates are often not posted on websites until just before the event (or may even be posted incorrectly, especially in Italy). Verify the correct festival dates before planning a trip around a specific festival. For more information about these and other events, visit the official tourism site for Italy." – "This list includes major festivals in major cities, plus national holidays observed throughout Italy.

Italy Weather and When to Go – "In general the climate in Rome, and especially Florence and the Tuscan region is very mild. There are little differences between the regions, though. Rule of thumb: at the coast and in the valleys the summers are hotter than in the hilly areas, where the climate is very continental – rain falls are more often. Usually the summers in Tuscany are without rain and very hot, especially in the valleys. Spring (April and May) and autumn (October and November) might be rainy but there are still dry, sunny days. In the winter there are sunny, mild days but at night it sometimes gets very cold. July is the hottest month with temperatures from 73° up to 86°. Especially in the valleys the temperatures sometimes rise up high. In the coldest month – January - they are about 44° at the coast and about 38° to 42° inside the country. Of course the temperature in the mountainous areas is below." – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Italy Travel - Before You Go AKA Italy Travel Guide section on

WHAT TO WEAR IN NOVEMBER

Fall in Italy: What to wear for midseason weather – "If you’re willing to take fashion advice from a Canadian whose concept of Fall before moving to Italy was “that one pleasant day between summer and winter,” listen up. But seriously, what to wear for Fall in Italy is a big question. There is a long midseason in this country, and over the years I have learned what clothing is appropriate in October and November." – Oct 12, 2011 – Alexandra Korey – "About me" – Source: ART TRAV – "LIFE, ART & TRAVEL in ITALY"
Travel Tip Tuesday: How to Dress for Winter in Southern Italy – "I’ve written a lot over the last year about how to pack and what to wear when you are in Italy, including how not to look like a super tourist, a special how not to look like a tourist for men and even what to pack when visiting southern Italy. But today I want to focus on what to wear in Italy if you visit during the winter. Loyal readers might remember my What to Pack for a Calabrian Winter post from last year or maybe a guest post from Laura at Ciao Amalfi! that featured five words to keep you warm this winter. I’m going to merge those posts today and include five tips on what to wear in Italy during the winter." – Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 – Posted by Cherrye Moore – "About" – Source: My Bella Vita Travel^LLC – "Calabria: Take the Toe by the Horns!"
What To Wear When Traveling in Italy in the Fall – "With airlines increasingly adding fees for checking baggage — charging for checking a second bag as well as raising fees for overweight or oversized bags, travelers are continuously looking for ways on how to travel light. Traveling to Italy in the Fall allows you not to pack too much, if your concern about packing is mostly about clothes you should take with you." – "" – "• Travel • Fashion • Shopping • Made in Italy • B2B • Contact us" – Source: PrimeItaly.com – "A chance to get a taste of the real Italy"

INFORMATION

Three Off the Beaten Path Regions to Visit in Italy – "If you've been to a few of the top places to go in Italy, consider one of these off the beaten path regions for your travels. Tourism is on the rise in these three regions, so now is a good time to visit while they aren't yet crowded or touristy and are anxious to attract visitors. Some things to keep in mind when you travel to less touristy places:" – Updated June 26, 2015 – By Martha Bakerjian, Italy Travel Expert – Source: Found in the Italy Travel section on about.com

Tuscany Off the Beaten Path – "Towns and Things to Do in Hidden Tuscany" – Updated January 02, 2016

Five Off the Beaten Path Places to Visit in Italy – "There are many off the beaten path places to visit in Italy for the curious traveler wishing to go beyond the well-known destinations of Rome, Florence and Venice. Sure, those cities should not be missed, especially when visiting Italy for the first time. However, do not rule out little-known places you may have never heard of: you will be in for some pleasant surprises! Read on for our picks of five off-the-beaten-track places to visit in Italy that will delight you." – August 15, 2016 – Silvia Donati – "About Select Italy" – Source: Found in the Espresso – "Your Daily Dose of Italy" – blog section on Select Italy – "The ULTIMATE SOURCE for travel to ITALY"
15 Off-the-Beaten-Path Italian Towns You Need to Visit – "It's hard to go wrong when planning an Italian vacation. But if you're lucky enough to have visited the most popular cities in the country for tourists, like Rome, Venice, and Florence, there's still a whole country of beautiful sights, great food, and dolce vita to enjoy. Here are 15 of our top suggestions." – May 7, 2015 – by Allie Merriam – "About Us" – Source: POPSUGAR. – "CELEBRITY | FASHION | FITNESS | BEAUTY | LOVE | MOMS | LIVING | CAREER | FOOD | LATINA | NEWS | VIDEO"
Italian Summer Travel: Six Off-The-Beaten-Path Getaways – "For a summer getaway, there are few places better than the Italian seaside. Great food, prime weather and small, picturesque towns welcome visitors from around the world. Everyone knows about the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Venice. But to beat the crowds, summer like a true Italian and head to one of these smaller, more intimate beach towns." – 06/18/2013 07:20 am ET – Lisa Miller, Associate Editor, HuffPost Travel – "About Us" – Source: Found in the TRAVELsection on The HUFFINGTON POST – " Inform • Inspire • Entertain • Empower" – Edition: U.S.
Italy off the beaten track – ". . .If you travel off the major tourist trail you are likely to encounter a warm welcome. Italians are invariably proud of their local town and surroundings, and they will be delighted and flattered you have taken an interest. Generally the less visited the place, the more pleased, welcoming and helpful the locals will be. . ." – "About Italy Heaven" – Source: Italy Heaven – "Italy Travel, Holiday and Tourism Guide"
Italy Off the Beaten Path – "Skip the Colosseum and go truffle hunting. Milan, Florence, Rome: It’s no surprise that Italy is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. But rather than hitting only the hot spots, carve out some time to visit the less-traveled regions, too. We turned to Ciao Andiamo, a website that helps you plan and book off-the-beaten-path Italian vacations. If you want to eat, drink, wander and even truffle-hunt your way through this Mediterranean gem, then check out these five regions." – March 23, 2015 – "ABOUT" – Source: PureWow. – "Women's Fashion,Beauty, Life Hacks & Recipes"
Off the Beaten Path – 10 Amazing Places to See near Rome – "The beauty of Rome is well known, but so are not the many villages and realities in its surroundings, forgotten by tourists and obscured by the brightness of the Italian Capital. I want to give these off the beaten path places all the attention they deserve as there are several possibilities to choose a perfect day escape from the bustling city of Rome. You can go hiking, dig deep into archeology or to relax at the beach, I’m sure you’ll find the option that best suits you. And if you have a camera with you, you’ll find plenty of subjects to show to your friends back home, no need to be a professional travel photographer!" – Posted By Dave and Deb – "About Us" – Source: theplanetd – "Adventure is for Everyone!"
Off the beaten path in Italy – "Because of the name of my company, I get regular requests for itineraries that are at least partly off the beaten track. The definition of off the beaten path in Italy differs depending on how well you know the country. For some, the beaten track includes just Rome, Florence, and Venice, while for others it would certainly include the Amalfi Coast, the Cinque Terre, Pisa, Milan, Siena, and Lake Como. There are entire regions of Italy that are off the radar of foreign tourists (yet full of Italians exploring their own country), but in my experience most travelers want balance. They want to see the Colosseum in Rome but then escape the tourists for awhile. They want to see the main sights in Florence and then head into the countryside for some independent exploration. With that in mind, the places I recommend below are both easily accessible from Italy’s main sights, yet have fewer foreign travelers." – Oct 23, 2014 – Madeline Jhawar – "About" – Source: ITALY Beyond The Obvious – "Italy Trip Planner | Italy Tour Guide"
Off the Beaten Path in Italy’s Small Towns – "Italy is the most visited country in the world. Like other tourists, I have visited Rome’s Colosseum, Vatican City’s chapels, Florence’s Duomo, Venice’s canals and Milan’s shopping centers. While all of these sights are notable must-sees, they are also overwhelmingly crowded with visitors from around the world. On my most recent trip to Italy, I decided to do something different: get away from the known destinations, explore the small towns and learn a bit more about the local culture. Follow me on my path below as I travel to Italy’s less-visited small towns." – 06/04/2014 02:40 pm ET | Updated Aug 04, 2014 – Sucheta Rawal, Travel Writer, Founder of Go Eat Give – "About Us" – Source: The HUFFINGTON POST – " Inform • Inspire • Entertain • Empower" – Edition: U.S.
Where Should I Travel Off the Beaten Path in Italy? – "When you visit Italy, you want to see Italy—not other tourists. But the country is a pretty popular destination for pizza-loving jet-setters. In fact, tens of millions of visitors descend on the boot-shaped Mediterranean country every year. Here are a few places you should go to avoid most of them." – May 14, 2014 – By: Emily H.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Italy off the beaten track – "Friuli-Venezia Giulia is tucked into the north-east corner of Italy, bordering Austria and Slovenia. Much of it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so there is a fascinating mix of cultures in this region - Italian, Austrian and Slavic.

THE DOLCE VITA DIARY: episode 1 – "When I lived in Positano on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, I met Daniele, who taught me the secret to happiness, to living well, the dolce vita and his theory on why so many people struggle to live a happy balanced simple life. Italians have a saying "Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano" which literally translated means - "He who goes slow, goes safe and goes far" but I guess it's similar in English to "slow and steady wins the race" and basically means that although something may take longer, in the end, patience is always rewarded..If you are a dreamer or a traveller or just working or studying and saving money until you can visit a place like Italy, follow me on social media for daily escapism and inspiration." – Published on Jul 19, 2016 – by: Kylie Flavell
Dream of Italy: Full Naples/Amalfi Coast Episode – "In the fourth episode of Dream of Italy (new PBS travel series), we travel to Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Neapolitans are serious about their coffee and we visit the historic Gran Caffè Gambrinus to taste what some say is the best espresso in the city. Naples is also famous for its tailoring tradition and we visit Rubinacci for an inside look. Host Kathy McCabe attends pizza school with master Enzo Coccia and learns it isn’t easy to make a perfect pizza. A visit to Via San Gregorio Armeno reveals a street full of Christmas crèches and caricatures. Mount Vesuvius looms large over life here and we venture into the crater with guide Roberto Addeo. In the shadow of Vesuvius we enjoy a local folk music performance before venturing to the Amalfi Coast. We visit some very special vines at Tenuta San Francesco, watch paper being made at Amatruda in the town of Amalfi, learn to make limoncello with a local, watch a cooking demonstration with Chef Christoph Bob at Monastero Santa Rosa and go fishing with local Costabile Laudano." – Published on Jun 5, 2015 – by: dreamofitaly

Burnt To A Crisp – The Italian Post Office, Of Course. – "Among my friends and family, they know how much I hate Italian Post Offices. Some have described it as a phobia: ufficiopostalefobia (postophobia (var. Italian))." – December 21, 2013 – ©Ann Reavis – "About" – Source: Tuscan Traveler – "Burnt to a Crisp Under the Tuscan Sun"
How to Use the Italian Post Office (Poste Italiane) – "How am I to send my postcards,” said a friend, “when I can’t even find the right person at the Italian Post Office to talk to?” Another friend lamented, “I usually send my postcards with ‘I’ll be seeing you before you read this.’” It is true that the Italian postal service, called the Poste Italiane, doesn’t have a very good reputation. One of the most difficult elements of mailing something in Italy is that the post offices are set up entirely different than those we are used to in the United States. Once you get the hang of how the Poste Italiane works, you may conclude that the Poste Italiane isn’t really all that bad. . ." – Published/Revised October 23, 2015 – By Mattie Bamman – "ABOUT US" – Source: EUROPE UP CLOSE – "The Insider’s Guide to Travel in Europe"

You would be wrong though, for this is often when the trouble with the Italian post starts." – May 11, 2009 – by Alex Roe – "About" – Source: ITALY chronicles – "The Italy You Don't Know" – "all about the Italy you don't know - news, politics, views, analysis, travel, food and more. Discover sides of Italy others don't always write about in English."
The Italian Post Office – "The Ufficio Postale is a place where you go to accomplish all sorts of daily tasks. There is an incongruous array of services that confounds the uninitiated American who had always believed that a post office was a place from which to send packages. And paradoxically, the one thing that you often cannot do at an Italian post office is buy stamps. . ." – by Rick Zullo – "START HERE – Source: RICK'S ROME – "Rick's Rome Italy Blog for Advice to Travelers"

Post Offices in Italy – "A trip to an Italian post office can be a baffling experience. If you can figure out how to get in the door, then you are one step ahead of me. My first time at an ufficio postale, I could not figure out how to enter the office. I finally realized that I had to stand in front of a weird looking capsule and wait for a green light. Green means GO, and if you step forward the doors will open to allow you into the waiting chamber. I assume this is so someone somewhere can verify that you are abiding by the prominent pictorial depictions that clearly declare “NO GUNS! NO KNIVES!” After another green light, you are permitted through another set of automatic doors and into the post office. . ." – October 22, 2010 – by Natalie – "ABOUT" – Source: AN AMERICAN IN ROME – "Rome, Food, Travel,"

Italy October 2015 – "Steve and Andrea Okopny and Joe and Judy Dawson traveled to Italy on October 2nd for two weeks. The first week we stayed at an all inclusive hotel in the town of Amalfi. We took day trips to Ravello, Positano, the Isle of Capri, Pogerllo and Amalfi. We then travelled to Manarola, a small town in the Cinque Terre National Park, ( a UNESCO world heritage sight). We had day trips from there to the five towns that make up the Cinque Terre, Corniglia, Montarosa La Mare, Vernaza, Riomagiorie and Manarola. After 3 nights in an apartment on the top floor of the highest building (no elevators!) we traveled to Florence where we took a tour to the cities of Sienna and Gimignano. Finally we traveled to Venice where we stayed the final two nights.
All travel between cities was by high speed and local trains or by boat. We had great weather except for one day and had a great time." – Published on Oct 19, 2015 – by:Joe Dawson

Italy Weather and When to Go – "In general the climate in Rome, and especially Florence and the Tuscan region is very mild. There are little differences between the regions, though. Rule of thumb: at the coast and in the valleys the summers are hotter than in the hilly areas, where the climate is very continental – rain falls are more often. Usually the summers in Tuscany are without rain and very hot, especially in the valleys. Spring (April and May) and autumn (October and November) might be rainy but there are still dry, sunny days. In the winter there are sunny, mild days but at night it sometimes gets very cold. July is the hottest month with temperatures from 73° up to 86°. Especially in the valleys the temperatures sometimes rise up high. In the coldest month – January - they are about 44° at the coast and about 38° to 42° inside the country. Of course the temperature in the mountainous areas is below." – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Italy Travel - Before You Go AKA Italy Travel Guide section on

What to Wear When You're Traveling to Italy in October – "With the summer crowds dwindling and the weather getting cooler, October is one of the best months to visit Italy.

15 Must try Foods in Italy (and where to get them) – "Let there be no ambiguity here: I purely choose to revisit Italy again and again and again because of the food. Its what lures me back.

Being a vegetarian myself I only every indulge in a handful of these (making up for in sweets what I lack by way of savoury selections), however to be fair to the meat eaters I have included all the most popular dishes and where to find them. It should also be noted that Italian food isn’t really Italian food. Each region in Italy specialises in something – be that a certain dish or type of cooking – so really, you should aim to eat regional in Italy.

INFORMATION

The Glorious Twelfth – "The glorious twelfth is a term used usually to refer to the 12^th of April, the start of the hunting season in Italy for the common mosquito (Bitius Leggius) and to a lesser extent the tiger mosquito (aggressive-bitius)." – Posted on April 1, 2015 – blogger: Peter Grey – "" – Source: Englishman in Italy – "An Englishman, his Sicilian wife and an Italian / English Dictionary"
How to Avoid Mosquitoes – the Bane of Italy’s Summers – "Here’s how you can avoid mosquitoes when you are in Italy. But first, a little story about my own, itchy, mosquito issues. A couple of weekends back I went to two outdoor music concerts here in Milan, Italy, but I carelessly forgot to cover myself in a layer of mosquito repellent. Big mistake, and I paid the price. I was feasted upon by lots of hungry little blood suckers, otherwise known as mosquitoes. They really are the bane of Italy’s otherwise lovely summers. It took around a week for all the irritating itching to die down. Last weekend, I went cycling around Milan to visit a park I had never seen before and to have a look around the lovely Villa Necchi. Remembering my itchy concert experience, before I set off, I covered myself with a good layer of mosquito repellent. I’m happy to report, the repellent kept the nasty little bloodsuckers away. The moral of this little tale is if you are coming to Italy this summer and want to avoid mosquitoes, bring some mosquito repellent. If you don’t, the annoying itching may well have an adverse effect on your otherwise positive Italy vacation experience" – July 16, 2012 – by Alex Roe – "About" – Source: ITALY chronicles – "The Italy You Don't Know" – "all about the Italy you don't know - news, politics, views, analysis, travel, food and more.

ITALY IN SEPTEMBER

Italy in September – "I know I’m not supposed to play favorites, but all things considered, September is – at least so far – my favorite month in which to visit Italy. The reasons are both weather-related and festival-related, as you’ll see below." – June 19th, 2008 – by Jessica [Spiegel] – "About whyGo" – Source: Italy section of whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998"
Italy in September 2016 – "September in Italy is when temperatures begin to drop all throughout the country, and the weather is mostly dry, which is why the tourist season is still in high gear. Outdoor activities such as visiting Roman ruins are ideal because temperatures are not too hot, as it had been in the past summer months. This is when locals go back home after their vacations in August, so visiting the beaches on the southern coast is a good idea because it would still be warm but less crowded. In Venice, the city’s annual boat race, the Regatta Storica, takes place on the first Sunday of the month." – "About" – Source: VAMORO – "where & when to travel"

Here are some links about, for or on Italian snacks:

INFORMATION

Arancini, Fritters, and Savory Snacks – "Italy has a great tradition of street food, snacks and such that one buys in a friggitoria (where they fry foods). Wonderful stuff in mid-morning, and if you make them at home (which isn't that hard) they're excellent finger foods for parties too!" – Danette St. Onge, Our Italian Food Expert – "Our Story" – Source: Found in the Italian Food section on About.com
Italian Food for Kids – "Italian Food Facts for Children" – "About Us" – Source: Family Travel Scoop – "Travel with Kids - Plan your Family Vacation Here!"
Lots of Italian Snacks and Sweets to Tempt You – "The Emmy Eats on Emmymade in Japan series of videos on YouTube are great fun. In these popular food review videos, Emmy, who is from Japan, eats and describes lots of snacks and sweets from around the world, including Italy. Emmy has made three videos about Italy so far, all of which you’ll find below. Well, I like showing off what Italy has to offer and, as well as everything else, Italy does have some interesting snacks and sweets, so I’ve decided to pop Emmy’s trips into this largely unknown world of Italian cuisine here on Italy Chronicles. If you are coming to Italy and are after a snack or a sweet treat, you probably go for something which looks familiar – if that is, you can find anything. The language barrier can cause some problems too and as a result you may have ended up eating something which wasn’t quite what you expected. Emmy’s videos can prevent this little problem from occurring. I like Emmy’s video snack and sweet reviews because she tries lots of things I see every day – well, I do live in Italy. In Milan, to be precise. Emmy’s assistance, choosing snacks, sweets and cookies/biscuits when in Italy should no longer be a so hit and miss. People coming to live and work in Italy might find Emmy’s videos handy too. Over to you Emmy, get snacking!" – March 28, 2014 – by Alex Roe – "About" – Source: ITALY chronicles – "The Italy You Don't Know" – "all about the Italy you don't know - news, politics, views, analysis, travel, food and more.

Top Nine Handheld Snacks Not to Miss in Italy – "You probably already know that my mother was born in Italy, right? And given that I’ve been going to Italy since I was born, I am rather familiar with it too, so I’d like to share some of my favorite handheld “snacks” with you. Granted, some of these snacks will keep you going for hours (like the porchetta panini), but these would never be considered a meal by Italian standards! Here they are in no particular order~" – November 6th, 2014 – Authentic Italian Food Blogger: Christina Conte – "About" – Source: Christina's Cucina – "A Scottish Italian cook living in Los Angeles, Christina is usually cooking, baking or (cr)eating something scrumptious. When she isn't in the kitchen, she loves to travel, near and far, as long as there's good food involved. Christina is on a mission to save authentic Italian dishes from extinction, and is constantly promoting Scottish (and British) food as some of the best cuisine the world has to offer—one steak pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding at a time."

RECIPES

Italian Snacks – "Italians are by nature gourmands, and they typically enjoy eating on any occasion they get, so snacks are an important element in their every-day diet. Eating in-between meals is a regular thing, and they have many available choices. From baked cheese crackers and mozzarella sticks, to cold cuts like prosciutto, salame, sausages, pancetta and mortadella pieces with pickles, you definitely have lots of choices. More sophisticated snacks include chicken liver crostini, cipolle con le sarde (onions with sardines), and polpi all’Aceto (pickled octopus). Eggplant can also be served pickled with bread sticks, and tomatoes. Many Italian dishes are served with herb-seed bread, and sometimes this type of bread can be eaten as a snack. It usually contains basil, dill, oregano and sesame seeds and can be used for delicious snack sandwiches. Bell peppers are great for preparing Italian snacks, and can be served with tuna or can be stuffed with eggplant and bread crumbs." – "Browse All Italian Recipes: Italian Appetizers | Italian Beverages | Italian Soups | Italian Salads | Italian Vegetarian | Italian Meat Dishes | Italian Snacks | Italian Desserts " – "About" – Source: Found in the Recipes wikia section on fandom – "POWERED BY wikia"

INFORMATION

Healthcare – "According to the WHO, the Italian health care system is ranked as 2nd best out of 191 countries, in terms of health status, fairness in financial contribution, and responsiveness to people’s expectations of the health care system.

Healthcare in Italy – "Italy ranks among the World Health Organization’sfunded. Of course, you don’t have to rely solely on public health facilities. Like many Italians top 10 countries for quality health services (by contrast, the U.S. only holds 37th place, despite being the highest spender).

Italian health care system vs. the US health care system – "The Health Care System is a thorny subject in every country of the world: often tied dangerously to the political agendas of its creators, it is known to be one of those matters that could make a government capitulate. In spite of being both wealthy, developed countries, Italy and the US have completely different approaches to health care. Italy has a public-based system, supported by tax income, as well as a flourishing private insurance market, which is often chosen by Italians as a sort of top up to the standard public "mutua". In America, public coverage is limited to Medicare, and the private sector is the major provider of health coverage to citizens. In Italy, citizens and corporations pay around 50% income tax. Income tax is calculated, of course, on citizens' income, but the weight of taxation in the country is among the heaviest in the whole of Europe. Italians are certainly not alone in having to pay so much taxes, but the problem is that, especially in recent years, it seems the quality of the services provided is not as good as it should be, and this is true also for healthcare. Hospitals are often understaffed, waiting lists can be very long, especially if one's condition is not life threatening." – Fri, 06/12/2015 - 00:00 – Submitted by Francesca Bezzone – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"

Coming to Italy in August? 5 Things to Expect – "If you’re experiencing August in Italy, you’re not alone! Since it’s when kids are out of school and the idea of vacation is on everyone’s mind, lots of travelers visit Italy in August. But there are some things you have to be prepared for. Here are five things to keep in mind before you head to Italy in August." – July 30, 2012 – "ABOUT US: BLOG" – "ABOUT" – Source: Found in the TRAVEL TIPS section within the WALKS OF ITALY Blog – "Free Italy travel tips, advice, news, updates, and ideas for any vacation to Bella Italia!" on the WALKS OF ITALY – "TAKE WALKS WITH FRIENDS." – "With small groups on all our tours, you're in for a much more friendly experience."
Italy in August – "The sad statistic about how little vacation time Americans get is regularly trotted out, so next time you hear it you can add to the misery by realizing that Italy in August is one big vacation for many Italians." – July 8th, 2009 – by Jessica [Spiegel] – "About whyGo" – Source: Italy section of whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998"
Italy in August 2016 – "Italians take their holidays in August, and you will find beaches and cooler mountain towns overcrowded with Italian vacationers. There will be less people in major cities such as Florence, Milan, and Venice, as much of the locals would have gone on holiday, so these are the best places to visit if you want some peace and quiet. You should avoid the sweltering mid-day heat of August in Italy and relish instead in the night-time entertainment, such as dance, music, and theatre. In the big cities, prices are also slightly lower relative to the past three months, and the traffic is much better." – "About" – Source: VAMORO – "where & when to travel"
So You Want to Travel to Italy in August? (Free Italy Travel Advice) – "The entire city of Rome shuts down. It’s difficult to find a spot of empty sand on any beach. The heat is unbearable. Although each of these statements is based on a grain of truth, these are some of the popular misconceptions about visiting the land of la dolce vita during the month of August, the most important vacation time of the year for Italians. But just because Italians are on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t be.

I’ll share some tips below to help cope with the heat but the biggest thing is just to accept the heat. Aside from that, there are actually benefits to traveling to Italy in August. Yes, most Italians take their holidays for the month of August and head south to the sea or north to the mountains, so the cities will have less traffic. Hallelujah! Another bonus of the locals running from the cities? You can find good deals on hotels. It’s another story if you’re hoping for a mountain or sea vacation, though. Prices shoot up for hotels, flights, restaurants, and even souvenirs in the north and south of Italy so keep that in mind for your dream holiday in the land of la dolce vita.

Delicious traditional Italian dessert – "There are as many traditional Italian desserts as Italian cities and towns, often the result of cultural stratifications occurred over the centuries.

Italian Desserts (Dolci) – "Professional bakeries began appearing in Italy around the 2nd century BC. Schools were put in place to teach technique to aspiring bakers. While Italian desserts today feature many unique ingredients, desserts in earlier times were very plain. Sugar wasn’t introduced until the Middle Ages and chocolate came to Italy in the 16th century. Different desserts were born for different reasons in Italy. Some dry cookie-like desserts were thought to be made for sailors who needed long lasting food items to take on their voyages. Other more elaborate desserts were created to commemorate important historic events or holidays in Italy. Many of these recipes have been passed down through families for generations. Great care is taken to preserve their traditional characteristics. Across Italy, regional variations to desserts can be found. From biscotti and amaretti, to the elaborate creations such as tiramisù, pandoro, and panettone, the Italians are in no shortage for confectionary creativity. Italian desserts, candy, and chocolate are in a class of their own." – May 13, 2011 – By Davide – Source: Guida Garrubbo^® – " the art and science of italian cooking® / l'arte e la scienza della cucina italiana" – In English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish

Quick Reference

Preparing For a Terrorist Attack – Keeping You and Your Family Safe – ". . .Most Americans are too submerged in their personal technology, or in the vast amount of entertainment that is available to pay attention to situational awareness, such as preparing for a terrorist attack and keeping you and your family safe. Perhaps they are counting on the government to save them in case something like this happens again, or maybe they have already forgotten, and are back in the normalcy bias that something like that could never happen again. However, many people are beginning to wake up, as they finally begin to understand all is not right in our own country. A terrorist attack on the United States is not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen. But what can you do? What can you do right now to protect yourself and your family in the event something awful happened here again? The answers aren’t easy, and you won’t have them handed to you. Unfortunately the type of people who choose to do horrific crimes against others don’t come with instruction manuals, But hopefully, this will give you a general idea of things you can do to protect yourself, family and loved ones in case of a terrorist attack." – "FREE Resources" – By Lisa – "About Us" – Source: Survivalist Prepper – "Where Preparing is Surviving"
Terrorism Preparedness – "Terrorist attacks like the ones we experienced on September 11, 2001 have left many concerned about the possibility of future incidents of terrorism in the United States and their potential impact. They have raised uncertainty about what might happen next, increasing stress levels. There are things you can do to prepare for terrorist attacks and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later should another emergency arise. Taking preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of such events." – "About Us" – Source: American Red Cross – ""

Take That, Terrorism! 7 Ways to Travel Without Fear – "The terrorist attacks in Paris underscore that we’re living in a world where anything can happen anywhere at any time — in a Paris theater, in a Madrid train station, in a hotel in Mumbai, at a shrine in Bangkok, in the London Tube, in a nightclub in Bali, at a running race in Boston, in a skyscraper in Manhattan…. The answer is not to stop traveling — or to avoid huge swaths of the globe out of a misperception that your risk is greater there than anyplace else. The answer is to keep traveling, to make friends around the world, and to be a thoughtful ambassador for your country. Of course, while your head may be telling you that, your gut may be apprehensive. You may be making travel plans — or trying to — and you can’t help but wonder: If I go, what is the risk that I will get caught in a terrorist incident? How do I minimize that risk? If I can’t minimize it, how do I get over my fear? I believe the solution is to put your risk in perspective. Here’s how:" – November 20, 2015 – by: Wendy Perrin.com – Source: Found in the YAHOO!

When you are on any vacation or on trip you have to decide first what you will wear on that particular day. Sometimes, you can pay less attention on dress code when anywhere in world but when in Italy choose even a single dress very wisely as Italy Travels expects more in fashion. Italy is well known for their style sense and fashion. People really become conscious of fashion and style statement when they are in Italy known as the most fashionable place. If you want to look good at that place then you need to make some of changes in your wardrobe according to below mentioned tips." – "" – "" – Source: BestUpNow – "Automotive | Fashion | Beauty | Health | Home | Parenting | Technology | Travel"

Info about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy

2016-06-26T07:34:00.000+02:00

(LAST EDITED / UPDATED: XX MONTH 2016)

Here are some links about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy:

SPARKLING WINES OF ITALY

Get to Know Sparkling Italian Wine – ". . .There are 5 major types of sparkling wines from Italy which include Prosecco, Lambrusco, Franciacorta and Asti Spumante. Get to know sparkling Italian wine." – September 23, 2013 – By Madeline Puckette – "About Us" – Source: WINE FOLLY – "The essential Guide To Wine"
Italian Sparkling Wines – "Shop Italian Sparkling Wines - choose from a huge selection of Italian Sparkling Wines from the most popular online stores at BHG.com" – "About Us" – Source: Found in the shop section on Better Homes & Gardens – ""
It Is Not Always Prosecco - A Sparkling Italian Wine Primer – "Most wine drinkers assume “if it is Italian & bubbly, then it must be Prosecco”. I can not blame them, as Prosecco is the number one sparkling wine of Italy in production and export numbers. It is closely followed by Asti. Most consumers associate fine perlage (soft bubbles) and a more or less sweet taste with these two most known sparkling wines. But there is so much more to sparkling wines in Italy than these two. Just as you shouldn’t call any sparkling wine “Champagne” (a very American usage, it seems to me - hello California Champagne, you strange beverage), you shouldn’t call all Italian bubbles “Prosecco”, either. All these names mean a specific area and very often a specific method - and are protected by law! Here is a quick introduction to the most important styles & names. This is by no means a complete list. To learn more, come to one of our sparkling wine tastings - we hold one every Saturday." – "About vino roma" – Source: vino roma – "wine tasting in rome - Drink wine. Not too much. Mostly Italian."
The Luxe Adventure Traveler Guide to The Prosecco Road – "We love wine, but that wasn’t always the case. Neither of us really had much of a taste for wine until we moved to Italy. Part of the appeal of wine was visiting vineyards. They’re just so atmospheric. In spring, the new leaf shoots start appearing on the vines that had been cut back after the harvest; as summer days heat up, tiny grapes begin to appear; the onset of véraison signals the end of summer; and the fall sets the remaining leaves ablaze in a sea of gold. Particularly in Italy, vineyards are set among the most picturesque castles and hilltop towns. We’ve definitely visited some beautiful vineyards in the last couple of years, but the Prosecco Road, winding along spaghetti thin roads in the Prosecco Hills of the Veneto has some serious wow-factor." – By Jennifer Dombrowski – "About Us" – Source: Luxe Adventure Traveler – "Adventure Travel with a Glass of Wine"
Sparkling Wines of Italy – "When most people think of Italian wine, they think of the lush, robust reds of Tuscany or the delicate white wines of Piedmont. They don't generally think of sparkling wine…but they should. Italy produces more different kinds of sparkling wine than any other country in the world. In fact, they have been crafting spumantes (literally, sparkling wines) since Roman times, long before Dom Perignon popped his first cork.From the light, off-dry Proseccos to the classic Franciacortas, Italian sparkling wines are varied, tasty, and often quite affordable." – Thu, 03/24/2016 - 00:00 – By Sandy Mitchell – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"
