The precious bronze dies make the pasta rough enough to capture any type of seasoning. Rustichella pasta is used by the best chefs in the world, including 
Pistachio Panettone filled with cream with green pistachios from Bronte and covered with dark chocolate and decorated with chopped pistachios and cocoa.

This property is one of the jewels adopted by FAI is a non-profit foundation established in 1975, using the National Trust as a model, with the aim of protecting and enhancing Italy’s historical, artistic and landscape heritage, a perfect example of the humanistic culture, which wants to combine art, architecture and landscape in a daily experience that can stimulate towards elevated thoughts . 
The construction dates back to the Renaissance and is inspired by a Roman domus. It can be considered the first example of the new taste for the rediscovered Roman classicism in the hinterland of the Serenissima Venezia.
The interior of the villa, divided on the main floor into the Hall of Ancient Figures, the Putto Hall, the Dining Hall (or of Apollo and Orpheus) and the bishop’s private rooms, was frescoed in the years 1542-1543 by the Flemish painter (active in Venice) Lambert Sustris, responsible for the frescoes in the internal rooms, where he wanted to recreate the architecture and external views of the villa in a perspective game that unites the interior with external nature.
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Both delivering an unforgettable experience, at a cost that will amaze you, if you consider the extraordinary nature of the location, Both delivering an unforgettable experience, at a cost that will amaze you, if you consider the extraordinary nature of the location.
Great album, top voice with soul influences, excellent work, beautiful love stories, respect and love for one’s origins, inner strength, defiance of risk. confirmation of the value of love and life.
Among the authors of the album also Giovanni Caccamo who wrote ” CHI SIAMO DAVVERO”(Who we really are) and Lorenzo Vizzini “TACCHI A SPILLO” ( High Heels) In confirmation of the single cover, boasting red shoes, we got “Mi rubi l’anima” written together with her brother Rosario where Marcella, in a duet with her friend and singer Loredana Bertè, deals with the theme of violence against women with delicacy and sensitivity
.Among my favorite songs CHI SIAMO DAVVERO (WHO WE ARE REALLY) (well defined by a very current musical construction) SOFFER, SOFFER (SOFFRI SOFFRI) (which takes me vaguely to the wonderful “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack) A SPECIAL LOVE (UN AMORE SPECIALE) (very Marcella’s style) and the catchy L’ ETNA.
Milan, from 15 November to 10 December 2023, the Teatro Nazionale Che Banca! will host CABARET the MUSICAL, the new eagerly awaited production that will transport the public to the wild Berlin of the 1930s, one step away from the advent of Nazism, among excesses, deprivation of freedom, decadence and daily contradictions, in a distant historical moment but at the same time also very current time.

A true nectar with a golden yellow color and a not too intense aroma that reveals soft, delicate fruity notes of fresh almond and pine nut. Taste: the taste is evidently sweet, rounded, very fluid with a barely perceptible sensation of bitterness. The back taste is sweet and delicate, balanced and without peaks. Cultivar: 100% Taggiasca quality (from the name of the town of Taggia), home of this prized variety. Territory: Western Liguria Riviera dei Fiori.

Davide Livermore, 
“The wonderful thing about the original work dated 1800, says Livermore, is an extraordinary investigation into women within power and the power itself. Mary Stuart, Catholic Queen of Scots, and the Protestant Elizabeth of England create an incredible example of two women managing to be themselves while taking on different modalities even if they are not strictly feminine” 
Amazing: the actresses exchange roles every evening.
The almost three hours of show pass quickly thanks to a very fluid staging, a high but modern language, a plot dated centuries ago but particularly current and therefore engaging. Livermore, a genius as Opera Director, aims to validate the rapprochement between opera and prose. 
A surprising, unexpecetd gran finale: all cast singing and dancing the Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams are made made of this…Who am I to disagree..

A Castagnole Monferrato (Asti), scopriamo l’azienda agricola Montalbera, una suggestiva struttura che, oltre alla produzione di eccellenti vini, offre una showroom per degustazioni vini, sale relax, sessioni di yoga nella barricaia piscina e idromassaggio affacciatI sui vigneti, 
Tutt’intorno trionfa un vero anfiteatro di vigne dove nascono molte varietà di vini (Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino, Viognier, Monferrato Nebbiolo) e “last but not least” il Ruchè docg, un rosso prodotto da un vitigno autoctono, rinato grazie alle ricerche di Franco Morando di cui vengono lavorate le particelle più selezionate come il Ruché Laccento e il Ruché Limpronta, e 12 mesi di legno per avere la Docg
Thanks to them, the rebirth of Ruchè took place, a red produced from an indigenous vine of the same name typical of eight countries and other varieties (Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino, Viognier, Monferrato Nebbiolo)
Here is an extremely elegant, silky, warm wine on the palate, with a great balance that reflects the international taste of the modern taster and attentive to innovative pleasures, matured in steel tanks and subsequently bottled positioned horizontally at a controlled temperature, Ruchè is a wine with an unmistakable character with a bright garnet red colour, pleasant floral hints of rose and violet, fruity notes of apricot and the spiciness that emerges with evolution making it immediately recognizable in the glass
Ecco un vino estremamente elegante, setoso, caldo al palato, con un grande equilibrio che rispecchia il gusto internazionale dell’assaggiatore moderno e attento alle piacevolezze innovative, maturato in vasche di acciaio e successivamente in bottiglia posizionata in senso orizzontale a temperatura controllata, Ruchè è un vino dal carattere inconfondibile dallo sgargiante color rosso granato, ai piacevoli sentori floreali di rosa e viola, le note fruttate di albicocca e la speziatura che emerge con l’evoluzione lo rendono immediatamente riconoscibile nel bicchiere.
Montalbera, attenta alla sostenibilità, anche sociale., ha modificato le ore di lavoro dei 22 lavoratori in campagna, che diventano più di 90 in vendemmia, spostandole in momenti meno caldi e afosi della giornata, nella fascia mattutina dalle 6 mentre la vendemmia serale inizia nel tardo pomeriggio.
In the heart of super trendy Chelsea, a stone’s throw from the fashionable Kings Road, I discovered a restaurant that marries tradition, innovation and creativity with a simple and confident attitude. It is 
Phil has always cooked with harmony of flavour being his absolute mantra – and this being achieved through classical flavours and rigorously seasonal and ingredient-led cooking. None of this has changed at Elystan Street but an increased focus on vegetables and a lightness of touch now prevails.
With over 30 years of experience in running some of London’s finest and most respected neighbourhood restaurants Rebecca Mascarenhas brings her immense experience and passion to Elystan Street. As a pro restaurant goer she has not only amassed a hard-earned diner’s opinion but a perspective to help ensure that her own businesses never rest on their laurels.
featuring italian inspired dishes such as burrata with black cabbage and anchovy, garlic & orange dressing, veal with tuna sauce, gnocchetti with smashed sausage, white wine, fennel & chilli, pumpkin & chestnut ravioli with pine nuts, brown butter, sage & parmesan, just to name few. Phil’s prerogative is using 100% classic flavors, which doesn’t mean not being creative, but invites freshness, therefore tradition without being too heavy.

What better choice than the Euganean Hills and the village of Arquà, where he lived the last years of his life with his family. He fall in love with this land, considered the green and literary heart of the Veneto, where physical places and places of the soul coincide to this once marshy territory that the poet dedicates some words in one of his letters, remembered in one of the literary plaques of the route of the via poetica of the Petrarca Park 
“Since in no other way can you so adorn the appearance of a beautiful region and thus restore the Euganean Hills besieged by these marshes, widely known and noble for the branches of Minerva and the very fruitful branch of an illustrious Bacchus, to their true appearance of excellent land, and indeed restore fertile fields to Ceres, which is excluded from it , who are now oppressed by a foul and excessive mood”
Thanks to him that many writers and poets were attracted to this territory which then impressed them so much that it became the setting for many of their works, from Byron to Andrea Zanzotto, Mary and Percy Shelley, d’Annunzio and many others who were inspired by the enchantment of these rolling hills.
Pay a visit to the Evo del Borgo oil mill, which among the many oils could not miss the laurel oil, a plant loved by the poet, a symbol of fame and celebrity, then the Loreggian Winery that aims to enhance the cultural context also in wine, given that the main wine labels feature phrases from the poet.
This journey is enriched by an artifact from 1923, a navigation basin which is among the largest in Europe and which allows a drop of water of 7 meters . You will pass through the river village for an interesting perspective that could only be from the water, for this village which owes its fame to it.
Water which was important for the activity of the Baths, whose history we will tell and then for the commercial activity of the boatmen, who managed tons of goods transported on the typical “burci” which are still on display in the widespread museum

Balletto di Milano boasts a young and fierce cast, starting with the couple Amanda Hall and Emmanuel Ippolito who gave us a lively moment from “Flames of Paris, the remarkable chemistry between the very young Annamaria Maestri (Juliet) and the fiery Mattia Imperatore (Romeo), Alessia Sasso and Alessando Orlando in their sultry pas de deux from Ravel’s Notre-Dame-d de Paris.
Among them the most applauded couple was Paloma Bonnin whose dizzying fouettes were truly incalculable, perhaps more than the notorius 32… and her partner GianManuel d’Elia engaged in Petipa’s historic choreography for “Corsaire”
The highly anticipated BARBIE movie is out, at its best at the beginning and end, but, in my opinion, undone by a middle section where gags give way to issues about patriarchy, puberty, feminism and existentialism
Surprises in the cast: America Ferrara reappears with an incisive role (the not so pretty one from “Ugly Betty ” while the old lady at the bus stop is the daughter of Ruth Handler, the creator of Barbie masterfully played here by Rhea Perlman.
