Explore Our Magazine The vegetable garden in July 19/07/2022 In July the days are long and very hot, the mosquitos rule supreme, and we need to take on more and more liquids. Every passing day erodes the high spirits and excitement with which we bedded out our vegetable garden back at the start of spring. An old Italian saying comes to mind, as every day it takes a bit more effort to drive the trowel through the encrusted topsoil, and as we curse the ever-thicker, ever-tougher weeds that we have to remove. Our brows are bathed in sweat, and we have to be careful not to stand up too suddenly ... Continue reading Ticino and its Bridges 20/07/2022 The Bereguardo bridge has always commanded a strategic position, ever since its construction more than seven hundred years ago.

It is one of the founding pillars of “living with gusto” as we Italians understand it, and as the world loves it. Speaking as an Italian, what represents us better than pizza?Pizza is made of humble ingredients, available to everyone. Flour, tomato and mozzarella: the best, the tastiest you can get your hands on. Formality and frills go out the ...

This is a subtle modification: in the original cartoon, Linus actually awaits “the Great Pumpkin”, for Hallowe’en reasons. Until only a few years ago, Italians would have been at a loss: October 31st has typically been celebrated in other ways in Italy, and pumpkins have never really been at the heart of it for us.The watermelon, however – that’s ...
