Berlingaccio and surviving the snow
From Over the Tuscan Stove, 1 month ago, Similar articles
When I first came to Italy, it was in September of 1984. That winter was one of the coldest and snowiest winters, which caused the olive trees to freeze and we lost thousands of trees which then sprouted back up from the trunks. This year may be worse than that winter of 1985. We were blocked in the house for 10 days ( we don't have chains for our car) and lost our running water for 4 days. Not fun! But, we did have electricity and heat. The pantry was full and we survived. We were hit...

So I'm enjoying this amazingly gorgeous and unusually sunny April Saturday in Paris, wandering a fantastic antiques fair in the 9th arrondissement on Avenue Trudaine (still there through Sunday 10th of April if you're interested, metro Anvers on line 2 will get you right there), with my friend Linda. After an hour or so of looking at old trunks, antique dishes and armoires, and hat pins (I bought one to add to my collection and was shocked at how cheap they were compared to prices for same in...

The preparations started days before. A truckload of sand was mounded in the piazza. Then, for an entire day great logs were conveyed through the streets on a squeaking, suffering tractor. They were painstakingly stacked on the dirt so that, in the end, the teepee of tree trunks reached up one story high. Old men stood beholding the scene and discussing how the bonfire would be bettered if they'd
