Our dear friend Alex Roe from BlogfromItaly.com is back with more Good Things Italian. Did you know that there are many beautiful villages in Italy and we make think its not as easy to find the most beautiful ones. Wrong!! Alex shows us how:


Italy has an almost endless number of beautiful villages. Many are unspoiled medieval villages situated on hilltops, others are dotted along Italy’s coastline, and some are tucked away in Italy’s many mountainous corners. The choice is nothing short of bewildering. Luckily there is a list.

Someone has thoughtfully created a list of Italy’s most beautiful villages and it can be found over on a website called ‘I Borghi Più Belli D’Italia’.

This official website set up by the National Association of Italian Municipalities, from which one can also purchase an 800 page guide in English to the huge number of beautiful villages of Italy, is addictive.

The website is easy to use too.

Fragolino Time

From BlogfromItaly.com
Alex Roe Writes:




Fragolino Time



Fragolino is a mysterious, and for some, illegal drink. For those not in the know, fragolino is a type of grape, which gets its name from the Italian for strawberry – fragola. This grape tends to produce a wine with a sort of strawberry flavour, hence its ‘fragolino’ moniker.

Fragolino Drink
The ‘ino’ part of the word ‘fragolino’, pronounced ‘eenoh’, indicates that something is much smaller than normal in Italian. Example: bicchiere – glass, can become bicchierino – small glass, as in a small glass of wine. Back to the strawberry wine.
This Food and Wine Friday post takes a look at why the fragolino became illegal, and looks at a fragolino drink which is sold, supposedly legally, in Italian supermarkets.

Grapes from America
Popular opinion here in Italy that wine produced with the fragolino grape, also known, interestingly as the uva Americana – American grape, is illegal. As you may have guessed, the fragolino grape is not an European variety, but one which, judging by the name, came from the New World. The official Latin title for fragolino is vitis labrusca, by the way.
From what I’ve understood, substandard wine production methods during the first half of the twentieth century led to worries about the quality of wines being produced in Italy, and seeing as the fragolino grape was often used in the production of poor quality wine, legislation in Italy was introduced to ban wine production using this particular grape. Even today, the poor, misunderstood fragolino grape cannot be used in the production of wine. It can, however, be used to produce distilled drinks, so a fragolino grappa would be OK. Seeing as grappa is not wine, I guess Italy’s esteemed legislators must have thought that this exception was acceptable. Read More

Beautiful Italy

This post is about a new travel guide about touring Italy by car. Many people who visit Italy will come by car, and to really discover all that Italy’s exceptionally beautiful and varied landscapes have to offer, a car is just about essential.

The Touring Club of Italy, better known as the Touring Club Italiano here in Italy, is a Milan-based non-profit organisation which was founded way back in 1894 by a group of 55 Italian cycling enthusiasts. The TCI, as it is often known, publishes lots of interesting Italy travel guides, the most famous of which are the ‘Guide Rosse‘ or Red Guides, which are not related to Michelin’s similarly named series of Red Guides, by the way. TCI guides are also available in English.

Well, the other day I found myself with half an hour to kill, so I popped in to an Italian Touring Club travel store in central Milan. The shelves of this shop are jam packed with guides, videos, DVDs and a whole host of other travel related resources. You can even buy Italian Touring Club bicycles, which is in keeping with the origins of this organisation, which now boasts some 400,000 members, incidentally. Some of the Italian members of the TCI may well be cyclists, but the majority nowadays will not be, one suspects. Read More
