More Umbrian beauty. 3 layers of color and crops. Wheat fields, sunflowers and grape vines. This is the typical rustic scenery you will find in Umbria 😍

Hi everyone! Hope your week is starting off well. I am loving this new season of #searchingforitaly. Last night’s Umbria episode captured this underrated region perfectly. It definitely inspired me to post more photos from my trip to Umbria last summer. 😍

60 days and counting! 
In 2 months I will be sitting right there. I can’t wait to feel the warm sand between my toes and the Tuscan sun on my face.
Hope you are having a wonderful Friday.

Barolo, Piedmont Searching for Barolo. October 2 Barolo, Piedmont 
Searching for Barolo.  October 2, 2013
Anyone watch Stanley Tucci last night? Such a great show.
He was talking about Barolo and when they harvest the Nebbiolo grapes. It brought me back to a weekend of morning tastings (totally acceptable to drink in the morning when you are doing research 😉) and yummy autumn dishes. I was sure I had a photo of these special grapes just before they were harvested. 
Here it is! 😃 this bad boy is in someone’s 2013 bottle of Barolo. 🍷🍇
Hope you have a great week  #barolo #searchingforitaly #barolowine #grapeharvest #visitpiedmont #piedmont #whatitalyis #howitalyfeels #winetasting #nebbiolo #italianwine #stanleytucci
August 20, 2021 Duomo di Orvieto Another spectac August 20, 2021
Duomo di Orvieto 
Another spectacular cathedral in the small hilltop town of Orvieto
dating from the 1290’s . 
Populated since the Etruscan times, Orvieto is an interesting town because besides the cute charming town to walk around in and the stunning Duomo, there are other interesting things to see and do. You will find some really cool underground tunnels to explore, a great archaeological museum that showcases the many items recovered in the tunnels,  and let’s not forget the famous Pozzo di S. Patrizio.
Great for KIDS! 
If you are looking for some towns in Italy that are interesting for kids, Orvieto is one. I totally understand the frustration of having kiddos who are constantly complaining about having to see an other church. The helix well and tunnels will definitely keep them interested for a while.
Tip: make sure to book tunnels and well of St. Patrick in advance if you can. @liveorvieto

Sunday dinner in the city. When you aren’t in It Sunday dinner in the city.
When you aren’t in Italy, going out to eat in NYC is the next best thing. This Cacio Pepe pasta was divine. The restaurant was full of Italians which will tell you all you need to know. A helpful tip for choosing an Italian restaurant when you are not in Italy is to close your eyes and listen. If someone is speaking Italian, you will eat well.
