📌 Siena

Siena is one of Italy’s most captivating medieval cities, making it a must-visit even if your time in Tuscany is short.

At its heart lies Il Campo, the iconic central square famous for hosting the Palio, a thrilling horse race held twice each summer. Siena and the Palio gained global recognition through their dramatic portrayal in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace.

According to legend, Siena was founded by Senius, the son of Remus, one of Rome’s mythical founders. This heritage lives on in the city’s emblem, which features the she-wolf that nurtured Remus and Romulus, a symbol seen in statues across Siena.

Spanning three hills, Siena’s focal point is the grand Piazza del Campo, built on the site of an ancient Roman forum. The square’s distinctive fan-shaped brick pavement, divided into nine sections, dates back to the rule of the Council of Nine (1287–1355). This design symbolizes both the governing body and the Madonna’s protective embrace over the city.

When in Tuscany, Siena is a must go! Have you ever been? 😎😍

📌Tiramisu

The word Tiramisù literally translates to "pick me up." It originates from the Treviso dialect, “Tireme su,” which was later Italianized into Tiramisù in the late 20th century. Historical records trace its origins to Treviso in the 1800s, where it is believed to have been created by a resourceful maîtresse of a pleasure house in the city center.

The "Siora" who managed the establishment crafted this aphrodisiac dessert to serve customers at the end of the evening, revitalizing them before they returned home to their wives. This is believed to be the origin of "Tiremesù," a 19th-century natural Vi**ra, first enjoyed in a brothel.

In the heart of Treviso, a historic inn from that era now the modern-day Le Beccherie restaurant added this dessert to its menu. Supporting this legendary tale are the ingredients of Tiramisù, all rich in nutrients and energy: eggs, sugar, ladyfinger biscuits, mascarpone, coffee, and cocoa.

Over the centuries, a sense of popular modesty obscured the true origins of Tiramisù, which did not appear in written records until the 1980s. However, evidence of its presence on lavish household tables comes from the memories of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Women over the age of 80 recall the care and passion they devoted to preparing this dessert for family and friends. Before the widespread availability of electricity and early refrigerators, Tiramisù being highly perishable was enjoyed exclusively within the province of Treviso and its surrounding areas.

Certain oral traditions provide unmistakable proof of Tiramisù’s origins in Veneto and Treviso. The recipe is rooted in “sbatudin,” a simple mixture of beaten egg yolk and sugar, traditionally used by Treviso farmers as a nourishing remedy for newlyweds.

Today, Tiramisù is renowned as the world's most famous dessert and is regarded as the ultimate modern delicacy.

I just love it! It is without a doubt my favorite dessert. What about you? 😎🤤

📌 Venice Carnival

The Venice Carnival’s origins date back to 1162, when it was first established to celebrate the Venice Republic’s victory over the Patriarch of Aquileia. Originally held in Saint Mark’s Square as a jubilant tribute to triumph, the festival gradually evolved into a cherished tradition celebrated simply for its spirit of joy even as its original meaning faded into history.

In 1797, however, the celebration was suppressed under Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire, and the famous Venetian masks, which had long allowed wearers to conceal their identities, were banned. Although there were occasional revivals throughout the 19th century, the festival remained subdued, confined largely to private gatherings rather than the elaborate public spectacle we know today.

Then in 1979, the Italian government stepped in to revive Venice’s cultural heritage and boost the local economy by reigniting the carnival. This revival spurred a surge in tourism and transformed the Venice Carnival into a world-renowned extravaganza. Today, it captivates audiences globally and stands as one of the most celebrated festivals in the world.

Venice is one of the world's most known event and it is an experience of a life time happening in the end of this month.
