Giro del Gelato: Gelateria dei Neri

July 29, 2017

On a hot Florentine night, after witnessing a lovers quarrel on the street, we stopped at Gelateria dei Neri. The place was crowded so I took that as a sign that it was going to be good. My niece and sister in law were still on their Granita kick but I knew my girls wouldn’t … More Giro del Gelato: Gelateria dei Neri

Giro del Gelato: Gelateria della Passera

July 22, 2017

Next up on my Florence recap, is another Gelateria I heard a lot about. On our last night in Florence we found ourselves crossing the Arno for dinner. Before going back we decided to get our gelato at Gelateria della Passera. It’s a tiny little shop located in Piazza della Passera so don’t let that … More Giro del Gelato: Gelateria della Passera

Giro del Gelato: il Procopio

July 15, 2017

One of the first things I did when I started planning my visit to Florence was to find out where to go for amazing gelato. I have high standards and I do NOT go just anywhere. The problem with visiting touristy cities in the summertime is that it’s super hot and you just want something … More Giro del Gelato: il Procopio

Florence with kids: An honest opinion

July 10, 2017

Florence… or Firenze as it is known in Italian is one of those cities that everyone and their dog dreams of going to and to be honest… it’s not a city I love.

Today is my late mother in law’s birthday. She would have been 81. Wow.. that was weird typing ‘late mother in law’. In honor of her birthday, I wrote a post about her on the blog and share a few memories of her, including when she used a blanket as a diaper for Valentina. 😂 LINK IN BIO.
Monte dei Cappuccini always looks good... day or night.
That time I took a picture of the Moulin Rouge while on a moving bus. This was with B&W film so I had to wait until I got back home and had to develop them before knowing if it came out ok. #backintheday #2004
Today is Father’s day in Italy and we’re so lucky to have this guy as our daddy. It has been a rough month with being sick for 2 weeks, his mother’s death, quarantine and a funeral but we got through it together with laughter, tears and more love. I am so happy he’s mine. Ti vogliamo un mondo di bene. 😘😘
March 17, 1861- A unified Italy was born. It’s hard to imagine that Italy as a country is only 160 years old. Before the unification, the peninsula was made of Kingdoms, Duchies and City-States, all with their own language/dialects and cuisine. This is why Italian cuisine can’t be defined by one dish. This is also why I believe it’s important to remember the dialects spoken in different regions/cities. It’s part of Italy’s history. As part of that history, let’s remember that my beautiful city of Torino was the 1st capital of Italy and the first parliament was held in our gorgeous Palazzo Carignano.

It is with sadness that we say Ciao to Nonna Adelasia. From the moment I walked into her house, she treated me like a daughter. She taught me her recipes and she helped me with my girls. She would always offer to help even when her Dementia got worse. She was funny and we have lots of good memories. Thank you Nonna for everything. We love you and will miss you so much. RIP
