Back on one of my favourite roads. Although the surface on the higher altitude roads always make me think of stone-chipped roads in the UK and lead to an unnecessary mistrust of their grip 🤣

A regional specialty that has become something of a national treasure

For warned is for armed!
Filling up at service/gas stations in Italy can be a little confusing first time!

Italy petrol/gas stations normally have a self service lane that's open 24 hours a day. They're very easy to use but they can confuse you if you don't know w...

I went out into the Sibilini mountains today. I usually ride up through Forca Di Presta towards Castelluccio. Today i stopped and took some pictures of Piedilama, it's always very evocative! Hit by a succession of earthquakes in 2016 the place was left entirely ruined, today there is some work going on but mostly residents are still in the temporary village below. Not only this small town was hit, the entire region was devastated and the immense damage will take decades to fix.

From there I rode up to Castelluccio and had lunch with my chum Antonio at Ristorante Da Mamma Ida, housed in one of the post 'quake restraunts you can find outside many of the towns in the area, they are like little local food courts where the various restaurants who lost their premises are now hosed - as well as some new ventures. The food was as good as ever of course - Antonio and Mamma are from down in Norcia, famed for truffles and wild boar as well as fantastic prosciutto.

Just an idea…

Castelluccio is always a stunning place to visit, but if you catch it just right around mid June it takes on a new, spectacular aspect as it comes into flower!

Famous arrosticini!

L’AQUILA – “L’arrosticino è un prodotto che rappresenta l’Abruzzo ed è giusto che sia tutelato con una certificazione europea come il marchio di denominazione di origine protetta (Dop). Solo in questo modo il prodotto può realmente essere un reale sostegno alla nostra economia rurale”...
