Experience Umbria

The Latin name Civitas Narniae — known to the ancient Romans as Narnia was the inspiration for C.S. Lewis when writing The Chronicles of Narnia.

Discovery Day 1 Marian apparition

28/09/2022

The Pantheon is the most well-preserved architectural marvel the ancient Rome. Many visitors don’t realize that it is an active Catholic church where Mass is celebrated every Sunday at 10:30 am. The church is closed to the public during Mass making it silent and an ideal time for reflection and me...

What an inspiring day to be in Rome!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Consecration of Russia was only announced 2 days ago by Pope Francis. This event has been a controversial topic in the Catholic community for decades, based in a Marian apparition by one of the 3 visionaries of Fátima in 1917, that blessing Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary would bring about world peace. Pope John Paul II carried out the same ceremony in 1984, but many believe that as Russia was not referenced by name, perhaps for political reasons, that the consecration was incomplete.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This surprise ceremony resulted in a scramble of pilgrims here for Lent and other devout Catholics in trying to participate in this hugely historic event. Thankfully, we know a guy! This photo is brought to you by one of our lovely pilgrims who had the wonderful chance to be a part of this blessed day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can only pray that the outcome is as foretold. ✌🏼

Time means nothing, no one has any idea what’s going on, and the future seems like an infinite gray space leading deeper into uncertainty. But I feel as long as we can keep capturing beautiful moments and creating singular memories, that’s what life’s supposed to be all about anyway. So let’s stay focused on that, rather than how much weight you’ve lost in the last week, or how many times you snoozed your alarm this morning, or how many days are too many days to go without showering. No, just me?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, wherever you are in your current existential crisis, the next time you have the opportunity to taste any of the Nonino collection (grappa, amaro, ginger spirit, et all), take advantage of it and mentally transport yourself here, in this magical Borgo run by one of the most entertaining and passionate families ever. Not an ad, just an awesome memory I’ve been reflecting on, so have a little taste. 🥃

Do you ever think of Italy as a winter destination? The southern side of the Alps are rich with snowy mountains, frozen lakes, and of course, gorgeous cheese and wine! What’s stopping you from spending your holidays here next year?? 🏔

It’s taken a while for me to get into the Christmas spirit this year, but ‘tis finally happened. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception (the official start of the holiday season) paired with the delightful decadence of the is enough to jumpstart any sleigh bells a-jingling. Buone Feste!! 💛🎄💛

The weather is still perfect in Sicily. Anyone fancy a last minute getaway? 😁✨🥂

Italy isn’t all olive groves and vineyards and people on Vespas smoking ci******es. Italy can be a whole other world, like on Mount Etna’s moonscape. She’s very much active and has had over 50 eruptions this year, but she is as benevolent as she is destructive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Walking along the craters of this volcano is like traversing across the heart of Sicily. And it’s glorious. 🌋

Hello, my pretties 🥂

16/09/2021

Did you know pasta alla gricia with FIGS was a thing?!? I mean it makes sense, sweet and savory are the perfect combination, and I’ve had pizza with prosciutto and figs, so this isn’t that far of a stretch, but c’mon!! How have I been here for 7 years and never known about this!?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These delicious, green figs are in season for August and September, and are a perfect snack to keep you cool in these hot months. Until you put them in a big ol plate of spaghetti with crispy pork bits and cheese, of course. I guess it’s time to scoop all of them up and get to combining!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll do more research guys, my mind is blown. I can’t believe I’ve let us all down like this. I’ll do better.🍝

Sometimes, I walk down the street and it’s just another day getting from point A to point B. Some days, I switch into tourist mode, and I’m reminded how truly special living in Rome can be. And sometimes, I can’t help but feel that I’m living in a fairytale.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Buona Domenica, ragazzi. 🧚🏼‍♀️
