For Italians Christmas hasn’t quite reached its peak, in fact you might say it was just getting started.

24/12/2024

Our Christmas holiday begins with a version of a classic sgroppino, a highly slushy drink made with sorbetto and prosecco that I first had in Carole (CAH-OHR-LAY) a resort town on the Adriatic near Venice with our Italian cousins. Traditionally made with lemon sorbet, vodka and prosecco, it is commo...

Seize the Moment. 2024 New Harvest Capezzana Extra Virgin Olive Oil Has Arrived at CosituttiMarketPlace.com. Believe me there is nothing like tasting "new oil" and I can say, without hesitation, that you are absolutely buying one of the best olive oils in the world. https://cosituttimarketplace.com/so/fcPEm-i4K?languageTag=en

As the weather turns, the olive harvest begins. A seasonal gift of nature - from the fruit to the bottle, from the land to the artisan's hands, from generational producers, from us to you.

From Naples to Chicago. On display until January 6th - the Baroque Neapolitan Creche at the Chicago Art Institute -a secular and spiritual scene surrounding the birth of Christ from the perspective of contemporary Neapolitan life in the mid 18th century.

Due to the fragility of the original silk costumes and embroidery, the Neapolitan crèche can only be on view for a few weeks every year

The Art Institute's spectacular 18th-century Neapolitan crèche tells the story of Jesus Christ’s birth using more than 200 painted terracotta figures staged in an elaborate environment inspired by 18th-century Naples.

Rabbit Island at Valsanzibio Gardens
Rabbit Island at Valsanzibio Gardens

If you look close you can see the rabbits hopping around on Rabbit Island in the magical gardens of Villa Barbarigo at Valsanzibio, in the Euganean Hills less than an hour from Venice. In 1631 the Venetian Barbarigo family fled here to escape the Black Death. Calm, peaceful, impressive in design and magical in emotion. The architect who designed the gardens (between 1665 and 1696) was Luigi Bernini, brother of Gian Lorenzo Bernini who designed the famously immense gilt-bronze baldachin over the tomb of St. Peter in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
