Cappuccino Experience

What’s On

I have decided to add a calendar page to the site. Currently it only contains Italian national holidays. However, I am going to expand it to include dates of interest: exhibitions, literary and cultural events, shows, meetings etc. Suggestions are always welcome.

This could also be a useful tool for the cappuccinoexperience community as a whole. If anyone has an event of interest that they would like to be included then please let me know. It can be shared here, for everyone to see.

Corri sotto le torri

What do I like most about Italy? Now that’s a difficult question. I’ve thought about it quite a bit recently. Obviously there’s the food, the weather, the history, the people and so on. But maybe, for me anyway, it’s that there’s always something going on at the weekend. Mercatini, sagre, feste, fiere, mostre, gare, sfilate, rievocazioni storiche. The list goes on. It’s quite easy to find something to do, even in small towns.

I’ve been in Italy for nearly four years now but last Sunday was the first time I took part in a fun run (even though I enjoy running around Turin alone). Le corri sotto le torri (Run Under the Towers) was only in it’s second edition – an 8km ‘race’ around the beautiful city of Alba in Piedmont.

When in Rome…

August is the traditional month for the Italians to take their famous feria. Work generally stops in most of the country and people go off on holiday, usually to the seaside or visiting relatives. Some adventurous Italians even go abroad!

I too need a short break (I am visiting my parents back in Blighty) so their will be no posts on the Cappuccino Experience whilst I am away. Normal service will resume again the week beginning 24th August.

I hope you all have a good holiday wherever you go. Buona vacanza a tutti.
