A Luxury Retreat In Tuscany
2008-03-04 15:54:00
Author: Peter R Stewartvia articlesbase.comA Luxury retreat by its very nature needs obviously to be luxurious, but to be a retreat it also needs to be hidden away, not easy to find, and somewhere you can feel totally relaxed and away from everyday pressures. La Bandita in Tuscany Italy easily fulfills all these requirements.If you decide to hire a car or even heaven forbid drive from another European country it is quite likely you won't find La Bandita at the first or even second time of trying, indeed you will probably need to call La Bandita to get directions it is that well hidden away up a track needing four wheel drive.You can stand outside La Bandita and look to all corners of the compass and you will see nothing but hills, some sheep and perhaps some sheepdogs. Try listening for the roar of traffic, or the sounds of other people in the vicinity, and you won't hear much if anything at all.That pretty well deals with the retreat aspect of luxury retreat, so now what about th...

A Brief History of Pizza: The Dish that Conquered the World
2007-11-29 13:56:00
Pizza, the way we know it today, is a derivation from focaccia (from the Latin word for fire), flat bread that has been prepared since antiquity in different forms and garnished with herbs, olives, fat, raisin, honey, and nuts.The word pizza in Italian identifies any type of flat bread or pie—fried or baked. Although you’d find many types of pitas or pizzas around the Mediterranean, it is in Naples that pizza in the form we know it today first emerged, after the tomato appeared on the table in the 1700s. Naples has many records of pizza since around the year 1000; the first mentions call these flat breads laganae, and later they are referred to as picea. In those times, pizzas were dressed with garlic and olive oil, or cheese and anchovies, or small local fish. They were baked on the open fire and sometimes were closed in two, as a book, to form a calzone.In Naples is also where the first pizzerias opened up, with brick wood-burning oven, covered with lava stones from the Mount ...

Majolica - The Greatest Beauty of Italy

Author: rhusainsource: articlecircle.comWe will be looking at some of the continental potteries and their patrons who encouraged the development of the potteries in these countries like the Moorish conqueror of Spain. After he left Spain his styles of potteries were still made.WITH the aid of methods learned from Near Eastern potters the Moorish conquerors of Spain established a number of potteries. There, they produced earthenware decorated brilliantly in a copper-colored luster, known as Hispano-Moresque ware. With the recon quest of Spain and the expelling of the Moors, the Spaniards themselves continued the making of this and other pottery. These wares reached Italy in the fifteenth century by way of Majorca, and the name of that island, where they were supposed wrongly to have been made, was given to them in a corrupted form: majolica.Italian-made majolica, tin-glazed earthenware that is comparable to the faience of France, the Delft of Holland and the delftware of England, was...

See Naples and die..!
2007-10-30 14:37:00
author : Julianavia articlesbase.comThere is a saying in Italy that goes 'vedi Napoli e poi muori'. Translated, this means 'see Naples and die'. The actual meaning of this refers to being overwhelmed by what a beautiful and an incredible city Naples is. (although some may argue that what it really means that Naples is such a dangerous and chaotic city that it will kill you!)Love it or hate it, Naples really is a city and a half. It is full of life and the life is full of passion. And yes, you may have heard some negative things about Naples, but there are so many more positive things about Naples, it would be a shame to make a judgement without ever having visited the place yourself. In my opinion, it is probably the most colourful, vibrant and magical city in Europe, if not the World.True, Naples could be considered as chaotic, with cars and vespas racing around the city not paying attention to traffic lights -and in some cases, especially around the historical centre, there ar...
