Benvenuti a tutti, questa parte del forum è dedicata alle discussioni su tutto ciò che è italiano. Che si tratti di cibo, di vino, di luoghi o di usanze, se ha a che fare con l'Italia questo è il thread giusto. Welcome everybody, here is a place on the forum to discuss all things Italian - be it food, or wine, or place, or custom, whatever. If it has to do with Italy, you've found your (discussion) thread. I'll kick it off and say that my practical knowledge lies more in the North than the South (simply a function of having spent far more time in the North over the past decade). To that end, if there are people that can turn me to some of the hidden nuances of the South (I'm already aware of the caffè in Napoli - legendary - for example) as I'm very curious about the simple things that bring the people of the South so much joy. It's not just about the wines, it's about the lifestyle - villages that simply must be visited, meals, museums and places that must be studied and slowly digested. If I have some time next year, I think I'd like to visit Sardegna, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia and Basilicata - I'd be a fool not to make the time. And when I say visit, I'm talking about all those places where tourists DON'T go, but the locals do. Damn you, Rick Steves!
