Gelato!
Gelateria in Florence by Min Liu

Gelato is one of those yummy food items that is almost synonymous with Italy, and in particular Florence. Creamy, cold, rich in flavor, gelato is the perfect refreshing treat while walking around on a hot day in Tuscany.

Take the poll and let us know your favorite flavor – and yes, multiple choices are allowed! Then tell us in the comments about your first or favorite gelato in Florence – where you got it, what kind of day it was, was it everything that you thought it would be? Did I leave your favorite off of the list?

What is your favorite flavor of gelato?

On My Way To Tuscany: Part III

Castello Vuillermin
Castello Vuillermin in Finale Ligure

Castello Vuillermin sat high on the hill above town. It wasn’t an old castello as castles go, only a century old, if that. My bed next to the window gave a splendid view of the rooftops of the town below and the brilliant blue sea extending beyond to the horizon. Sleeping was really the only thing I did here, and the best part of sleeping was the waking up in the morning and seeing that view.

During the rest of my days, my time was spent slathered in olive oil and lemon juice, sunning myself on the beach. Or eating. Or walking. It felt good to take a break from my urban passion of going to museums and studying works of art. My first Italian food discoveries came from this little beach town. Did you know that you can buy slices of focaccia cut to any size and priced by the kilogram? Who knew that pizza without sauce could taste like rosemary in heaven? Or that you can make a meal out of gelato?
