Our blog of the week was cookitaly.com and I enjoyed talking to blog author and cook Carmelita Caruana.
If you have ever dreamed of wine flowing from a fountain, there is a place in Lazio where this actually happens!
If you are in London, you may like to know about a very special exhibition there to celebrate the Papal visit. In this article you can also read about the Ninian tartan which the Pope wore in Scotland today. This was also the week in which Giorgio Armani was named International Designer of the Year by GQ Magazine and Gucci announced a new cinema award for women. Personally I am glad that the outmoded Miss Italia contest is over and with it, all the speculation about this. If I were in Tuscany right now, I would love to attend this exhibition on the life of Mìichelangelo and this one on the history of wine.
For my personal Patti Chiari column I wrote about traditional Sicilian carts. If you've been to Sicily, you will have seen them at tourist spots and you may even have bought a replica as a souvenir. But do you know how they came to be so richly decorated? Take a look at the article to find out.
Happy reading.

Lots of good stuff here! Now, off to your previous post to try the grape bread recipe.
A very interesting article on carts :-)
Thanks, lakeviewer and Cherie.
