More Life-in-Italy
In the words of one of the main protagonists, or shall we say, heroes of the stories..:

[..For those that werent in Orvieto..]You don't know what you've been missing:
The best butcher in Italy with the world's best sausages, salami and porchetta!!!!!!
Eating outside in the Umbrian Landscape.
The best spa in the north with an extremely relaxing aroma oil massage. (Forget about the allergies. : )
Italy's best lake - Lago di Bolsena - with an amazing boat trip around two islands!
Lazio's best cheese shop in a cave with the best Peccorino ever!
Civita, The city that dies slowly!
The greatest duomo with cruel reliefs and an amazing history. Incredible caves with dove cots and old bankers! I love it!
A wonderful view out of Pippa's guest room's window into the great wide open, a lush landscape full of bore and deer. Or the view out of the bathroom window with a beautiful pitoresque ruine.
By the way, the best bore pasta - homemade. Mamma mia!
Our Risotto and long-time-ago-music night was also to remember!
And never be forgotten: The legendary boar walk in the middle of the night in the complete dark!!!
We saw hundreds of wild boar with their huge teeth fearfully threatening us. It WAS dangerous!

Life-in-Italy....; in between Allerona Old and Allerona New
The site of nightly fires; ghostly noises and fireflies;
regrettably: no boars in sight
