Roccaraso Ski Video

Off the skied piste resort Roccaraso is somewhere I’ve already written about, so I thought you might like to see the Roccaraso ski slopes in all their snowy glory, seeing as it is the time of the year when people are thinking about booking ski holidays.

Hope you like the video!

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

My original post about this ski resort is this: Roccaraso, Abruzzo, Italy – Skiing off the beaten piste.

I’d love to hear from someone who has holidayed in this resort, even if a friend of mine from Naples does speak very highly of it.

Tarting Up Italian Tourism

In a country as beautiful as Italy, you would think that there would be a minster for tourism. However, there is not. This, though, is about to change, with Berlusconi soon to appoint one almost-as-beautiful-as-Italy Michela Vittoria Brambilla to this very position.

Photogenic Italy – A Tuscan Doorway

Here’s a photograph I took from my summer trip to Tuscany to help brighten up those winter blues a little. It’s not the photograph displayed next to this entry if you have come to the home page of BlogfromItaly.com, just in case you were wondering.

Hope you like it. For the technically minded, it was shot in RAW and then processing into .jpg via the interesting DxO Optics Pro 6 RAW processing program.

I’m quite happy with the end result.
