Day out at Pozzolengo
On the 19th of March, Italians celebrate La Festa del Papá (Father’s Day), but this date is also linked to another import event, although not religious: spring solstice. I suggest this year to organise a day out at Pozzolengo, in the province of Brescia very close to Lake Garda. Pozzolengo welcomes the spring season with a 4 day non stop culinary

Cannero castles
Autumn has arrived and it is quite cold out there….but the colours are so nice that you cannot stay inside…it is too soon… This is the right time to discover places that are too crowed in the summer and not exotic enough to be visited in high season. Cannero castles - photo by Night FlierIt’s

Liguria – The lakes of Aveto Valley

Lake Como – Comacina Island
This winter so long and cold makes me want to stay in doors on Sundays. The best I can do is see my friends for a pizza or for a film at the cinema (recently I insist on going to the cinema as it is cheaper and doesn’t make me fat). Last Sunday for a change (as I had seen all the films I was interested
