A Fine Evening in Genoa
Visitors to Genoa’s old port area could be in for a little surprise, for the city’s authorities are cracking down on drinking in the street.
Back in a Week or So
Blog from Italy is going on a short holiday, but normal service will be resumed towards the end of August. In the meantime, if you are not on holiday yourself, why not have a dig around Blog from Italy. You should find one or two posts interesting, and please leave comments. I’ll reply once I’m […]
Marvellous May
May in Milan is a wonderful month. It’s when the balmy weather starts to kick in, just before the steaminess of late June, and the just about unbearable heat of July. The temperature hovers around 24 or 25°C in May, and those from northern European nations will find that coats are just not necessary. Jeans can become […]
Small, Furry, and Black
The weekend coming up is a holiday weekend here in Italy, and this means that, weather permitting, the roads may well be rather chaotic.

Italy’s Irresistible Attraction
A very nice chap from Down Under wrote and complimented me on my blog. He also told me that his wife and himself owned a flat in deepest, darkest, and beautiful Umbria.
Milan
Milan has been deliciously quiet for the last three days. All on account of the odd Italian ‘ponte’ or bridge, which occurs as a result of having a public holiday in the middle of the week. Indeed, it has been ‘Sunday’ since Wednesday here. Everyone, just about, has headed off for the sea or the […]
