Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays live from Ettore and me! 🎄
Many of you have met us on our tours, especially Ettore, who you may remember from our Abruzzo adventures! We're sending warm wishes your way this holiday season, along with this photo of our MEGA 🔥 fire where we're cooking sausages! 😋
We're building this bonfire in San Salvo to celebrate the Night of San Tommaso. 🔥 It's a tradition here to light bonfires on the eve of the feast day of Saint Thomas the Apostle.
Hope you have a cozy and wonderful Christmas with loved ones. ❤️
Ciao for now from Fabrizio (and Ettore too, of course)! 👋

Did you know that pasta, one of the world’s most beloved and versatile foods, has its own dedicated day?
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆!
For thousands of years, it has been a staple on our tables, with evidence of its consumption dating back to 5,000 B.C.
And today, I want to pay tribute to one of the most authentic dishes from my homeland, Abruzzo: 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮!
This special pasta takes its name from the traditional tool used to make it, a kind of "guitar" that cuts the dough into perfect strands of square-shaped pasta.
It's ideal for pairing with rich, flavorful sauces, like the classic 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘂̀.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗯𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀, where we make it together, surrounded by the stunning Abruzzo landscape.
