Wouldn't you fancy getting into an aristocratic mood, in a castle which dates back to the fourteenth century and can boast its very own ghost? You would? It can be done!

Come to think of it, a blog on Italy simply wouldn't be complete, if at some point, we didn't mention one of the things our little boot is world-renowned for; WINE!

The story of the Mariani family is very similar to others already told, but is yet again witness to the way things were in our area 60/70 years ago, when the mass emigration phenomenon was still in course. And yet again....they came back home.

Villa Tre Angeli was affected by the crisis along with everyone else, but we are feeling optimistic, and we hope that our positive outlook will bring about a change for the better.

Why is it that we have so many English/Welsh people in Bedonia? What is it that makes them want to live here - or come back from the countries to which they or their forefathers had emigrated? Good question, to which everyone has their own personal answer. Bar Lucia - yet another story.

The story of the Molinari family is quite similar to many others in the area, but their inheritance stands tall and proud right in the middle of Bedonia, and has been witness to a lot of sacrifice and pain.

We have a bone to pick with Italians........allowing their language to disappear is not cool.

Any linguistic enthusiast will know how fascinating the Italian language is, as discovering the Latin origins helps us to comprehend where English came from.

As we write, the news is becoming more and more encouraging by the day. Italy is going to bounce back - stronger and more beautiful than before. World, just you wait and see.......

In our search for interesting stories, we came across Christian Ronconi, a young man who bubbles over with new ideas, one of which is already paying off nicely - his very special pizza!
