Edible gold made, where else?, in Florence.
Here’s another good blog post I enjoyed. I would never consume gold flakes; it seems like the most wasteful thing a person can do to me. But I still like knowing about it.
Not just arts & fashion in Florence, it is also a city worldwide renowed for its goldsmiths shops on the Ponte Vecchio , the small artisans studios & also this kind of gold :genuine 23 kt gold & genuine silver available in flakes ( yes as corn flakes😂😂) crumbs ,powder & leaves to be used in the kitchen !
The prestigiouswww.manetti.it the full name is Giusto Manetti Battiloro ( in which “batti l’ oro ” means gold beater) was founded in Florence in 1820 ,this is one of oldest producers of such kind of gold used in the past since the 15th century by Florentine noble familes on their luxury banquets to enrich their tables.
Why don’t you try it on a fresh fruits salad, or on a creamy golden tiramisù , on a risotto with truffles, or on a glass of champagne , as sugar powder , or…

Authentic Italian cuisine
Every once in a while I am truly inspired by a blog post I ramble upon. Here is one of them! Please check out the gorgeous photographs of food. I feel like the author truly captured the essence of Italian food.
You know, Sardinia is my second home & I love it in a deep ,true , visceral way : as you love a good friend you don’t see very often & you miss so much.
I love it not just for its natural stunning beauties ,not only for the sincere & fantastic people living there, not only for its historical places & archeological magical sites ….but for the food too!
Last October I stayed by a special Hotel in the heart of Sardinia ( Barbagia area ) that has a great restaurant inside : usually I follow the rule “don’t eat in the same place where you sleep ” but this time……it would have been such a great mistake!
Because it was so good, so special, so tasty so perfect in every aspects :from the lovely service to the location , top quality & local ingredients used. I told to…

Where the pasta is fresh
I’m daydreaming about a lovely Lucchese restaurant where the cuisine/wine list is fine and of course the pasta is freshly made.
Let me take you on a little tour of this fine establishment:
Buca di Sant’ Antonio, Via Cervia
My mouth waters just looking at these pictures!
Buon appetito!
La primadonna assoluta
The absolute first lady of opera: Maria Callas. How fortunate the world is to be able to click an arrow and conjure up the diva. In the vintage footage we hear Callas sing, as the character of Lauretta, the ever popular aria from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi. Enjoy!
Karate girl
Amazing. Wouldn’t want to run into her in a dark alley.
Neoclassical hairstyles from the Pitti Palace sculpture collection
Let’s talk hair. It’s a good hair day in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. Just look!
And let’s not leave out the men. Here’s Napoleon.
But here’s my favorite hair style of all:
Happy Monday a tutti!
#Peroni in style
Well, it’s been a white weekend for many people! Here’s a couple more warmblooded Italian tv commercials to distract you as you start to dig out! Ciao, amici! Think of the summer heat to come. Last summer was the hottest on record; it’ll probably happen again.
So much better than the (Boston) tea party!
This isn’t new, but it is still very funny! Hopefully this will heat up all my east coast friends who are shivering in the historic blizzard! Stay warm! Ciao!
Lately.
This has given me chills in a good way:
This has made me fall off the couch laughing:
This has made me weep for humankind and the American legal system at its worst:
It’s pretty much the full gamut of human emotion, inspiration, laughter and tears. No wonder I’m exhausted!
Have a great weekend, everybody!
