I have discovered your blog recently through Peter of ItalyMONDO. A Roman from Rome, I am interested in all that is traditional and ancient in our beautiful country. I think that the Italian South more than elsewhere contains precious elements of our ancient culture. It is romantic to see how strong the ties are between the people of the New World and their origins, wherever they are.
Ciao

Thanks so much for coming by! I love the south for exactly the reasons you mention

I think you should WORK the heart theme! Maybe you can clean up the edges a little and add more color. Channel your inner hippie! And just think, no one would ever be brave enough to steal a something so obvioulsy identifiable! Ribollita Reboiled .-= Em from Ribollita Reboiled´s last blog ..Little Tony...Happy Hump Day =-.

I came on the first day of the event, while the piazza was still in the set-up phase. Since the name of the event is “Tarantella Power” I thought it was a little funny when one man came blustering out to complain to the carabinieri that it was impossible to get any work done when they kept losing power….

I love your ‘usually sleepy’ medieval town.

We must’ve walked by one another at some point! We were there too, and indeed the music started even later than usual because of the power issues; I don’t know if it affected the other nights. Glad you enjoy Badolato

You were so sweet and thoughtful to offer the painter a refreshment and to keep checking on him. And how sweet of the painter to bring a token of his appreciation for your concern. Molto gentile.

It was definitely a beautiful day in the neighborhood, Debbie

Gotta love how Southern Italians repay a generous thought! Keep us posted on who wins the bid for next year. I'd love to travel down from Napoli for the event next summer. Oh Peter it will be in Badolato for the next few years; come on down! .-= Peter at italyMONDO!´s last blog ..In Search of the Undiscovered Amalfi Coast =-.

I can see why. It sounds like a lovely festival. I only knew of the Tarantella as a really fun dance.

Well that’s *really* what it is and it’s the center of the festival; all the other stuff is just bonus

Oi! I was beginning to think you’d been bitten by a tarantula. I sure hope you mastered the dance just in case.

Must work on it….

Your good deed was clearly appreciated! Nice tile!

It’s actually a fake tile! Doesn’t it look real though? It’s actually wooden!
