🌞 Weekend Wanderlust vs. Reality Check 🚗💭
Last weekend, we set off with high hopes to explore the beautiful Ligurian coast, dreaming of discovering a hidden beach gem to soak up the sun.

First stop? A charming little seaside village—perfect for a snack and a walk by the port, but not quite the beach vibe we were after. Still, we enjoyed the views and a great drink with a breeze! 🍹🌊

Next, we spontaneously headed to Lerici… big mistake. It was packed! Not a single parking spot in sight. So, we thought, “let’s keep going!”
Tellaro was next—and just as crowded, with winding streets and nowhere to stop. 😮‍💨

After hours of driving, we gave up the adventure and returned to our happy place: Marina di Vecchiano in Versilia. Familiar, peaceful, and just what we needed. 💙

✨ Planning a trip to Italy? Skip the typical tourist trail and dive into these unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experiences:

1. Sleep in a Wine Barrel in Piedmont 🍷
Yes, literally inside a giant wine barrel — nestled among vineyards in Italy's wine country.

2. Go on a Silent Retreat in Umbria 🙏
Unplug and reconnect at a monastery or countryside retreat where silence is golden and introspection is the main event.

3. Learn Embroidery in Sardinia 🪡
Discover the ancient Sardinian art of su tessidu embroidery — a meditative, hands-on tradition passed down for generations.

4. Harvest Salt in Trapani 🧂
Walk among the windmills and pink salt pans of western Sicily — and even join a traditional salt-harvesting day.

5. Make Parmigiano Reggiano from Scratch 🧀
Visit a dairy in Emilia-Romagna and taste the iconic cheese straight from the cellar.

✨Italy is more than monuments and pasta — it's a living storybook full of traditions, tastes, and hidden gems. Which one’s on your bucket list?

Italian Inspirations of last months✨

Lately I’ve been fully immersed in the dolce vita mood, and Italy keeps offering gems that make everyday moments feel like magic.

🎶 First, Jack Savoretti’s Italian-language album has been on repeat — soulful, cinematic, and perfect for slow mornings or twilight walks.

🍹 For my aperitivo, I’ve swapped the usual for a classic Crodino — no alcohol, just bittersweet perfection in a glass over ice with a slice of orange. Simple and iconic.

🗺️ Discovered Camaiore, a lesser-known Tuscan treasure tucked between the hills and the sea. Quiet streets, friendly locals, and that irresistible small-town charm.

🥐 My current cornetto obsession? The orange-filled one from a tiny bar in Vecchiano. Soft, fragrant, and sunshine in pastry form.

🍦And for gelato lovers: cheesecake flavour — hands down, a revelation. Creamy, tangy, indulgent. Easily my top pick of the season.

Italy, you never stop surprising me.

🌿 Sicilian Legends in Ceramic: The Story Behind Teste di Moro 🖤

If you've wandered the streets or artisan shops of Sicily, you've likely seen the iconic Teste di Moro — striking ceramic head vases depicting a Moorish man and a beautiful Sicilian woman. But these aren't just decorative pieces — they carry a dramatic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge.

🌺 The legend goes that during the Moorish rule of Sicily, a young Arab man fell in love with a beautiful girl in Palermo. She returned his love — until she discovered he had a wife and children back home. In a fit of rage, she cut off his head and used it as a pot for her basil. The plant flourished so beautifully that neighbors began to craft their own "heads" in ceramic — and thus, the Teste di Moro tradition was born.

🖤 Today, these powerful symbols of passion and Sicilian identity decorate balconies, homes, and gardens — often given in pairs, representing duality and balance.

If you're visiting Sicily, don’t leave without one — a piece of legend you can take home.

If you're heading to Venezia Giulia this year, here's a travel idea you’ll love!

🌄 Start in the breathtaking Dolomites, then make your way to Trieste — a coastal city where Italian, Austrian, and Slavic influences blend in the best possible way.

And here's the twist: you're just a short drive away from Slovenia or Croatia!
Spend a day truffle hunting in Istria near Poreč 🍄 or stop by a traditional Osmiza in Slovenia for homemade wine and cured meats in the hills.

It’s the perfect mix of nature, culture, and culinary adventure.

This month brought a beautiful mix of family, nature, and little joys.
We spent some lovely days in Poland — full of fresh air, long walks through quiet forests, and lots of quality time with family and friends. Of course, the food was incredible (as always): comforting, homemade, and full of flavour.

I also started the 5 Minute Journal this month and it's already become such a grounding little ritual — a few minutes each day to reflect, pause, and reframe.

We finally watched Daddio, and absolutely loved it. A beautifully intimate story set in a yellow cab — how could we not fall for it, being big fans of all things New York?

And my favourite read this month: The Friend by Sigrid Nunez. Quietly moving, honest, and beautifully written — it stayed with me long after the last page.

Here’s to more slow, meaningful moments in May 🌿✨

This Easter was all about slowing down and soaking it all in. We started the long weekend with a breezy trip to Marina di Massa, where we had lunch by the sea.

From there, we took the scenic route, driving along the coast to Liguria, windows down, music up. The Ligurian coastline never disappoints—those little villages perched on cliffs, pastel houses, winding roads—it’s like driving through a postcard.

Easter Sunday started slow with a walk to the Torre di Pisa, we got caught in the drizzle and couldn’t stop smiling about it. The reward? Gelato under umbrellas. Because yes, gelato still hits different in the rain.

Easter Monday was for rest. Home, slow-paced, the kind of day where you breathe a little deeper. Long walks through the countryside, the kind where time melts away, and (you guessed it) even more gelato.

Feeling full—in all the best ways. 🌿✨
