As they say in Italy, Italians were eating with a knife and fork when the French were still eating each other. The Medici family had to bring their Tuscan cooks up there so they could make something edible.

I used to be a COMPLETE francophile. But in my latest travels and exposures...I started cheating... His/Her name is Italy. The one, the beautiful...
Don't get me wrong, Switzerland is WONDERFUL. It's such a culmination of cultures, and it's safe, clean, reliable. It's also... well beautiful. But it's always a good idea to have a lover, yes?
The food, the fashion (Dolce and Gabbana life size add in the Milano Centrale Grandi Stazioni...)
The ambience. The people, the ways... The language. The gelato.
The torti de panne.
I visited Milan yesterday, and while there are pigeons EVERYWHERE, the people make up for it. The people are just beautiful... And I know, it's SO cliche, but it's true.
I just had to say... I'm falling head over heels for Italy. It's a fluffy little blog post, but it's also been a while... I can't wait to fall more in love with Italy when I see Venice in October... I'm counting down the days.
Lots of love,
G
