A fashion blogger in Ascoli Piceno: Day 4 + 5

Wed, 22 May 2013 10:58:06 +0200

We went to Meletti to drink a crodino yesterday, which is a 100-year-old bar and used to belong to the Meletti family, famous for their anisette. After that, we went straight home. It started to rain again, so it wasn’t fun to stay outside.
My family and I went to a typical Italian bar this morning, because I had to have my daily dose of Italian ice tea. Everybody drinks their coffee and eats their pastries standing, which is the normal way to do it around here. I love these typical traditions.

Vallerosa Bonci: Verdicchio have Got Social

Tue, 21 May 2013 19:27:17 +0200

Mariano Pallottini’s insight:

Vallerosa Bonci and few other producers in le Marche, have embraced new communication strategies that involve social media, blogs and videos. These companies are opening the road to the rest of le Marche wine businesses that must find new metrics to define their success. Those which are limiting ROI to financial returns neglect to acknowledge marketing objectives such as brand loyalty, reputation and exposure. Eventually sales may be derived from social media efforts. It takes time, but the returns can be immense. Now is not the time to raise the white flag and give up. It is time to embrace change

Italy is calling: Arrivederci Le Marche

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:39:50 +0200

There are a few British that have discovered Le Marche but this is what Tuscany was like before being invaded by rich people looking to restore farmhouses. I’ve seen old dilapidated farmhouses all across the countryside just waiting for a new owner.

Golden Brown Artichokes Braised in White Wine

Tue, 21 May 2013 17:27:00 +0200

The artichoke season is far too short, and everyone has been telling me to buy all the artichokes I want now because the season is ending in a week or two.
I presently prefer them slowly braised in white wine. I clean the artichokes, then cut them in half and brown them really well in some of our own olive oil which I find really brings out the flavor. I then add garlic and white wine, cover with a lid and cook until tender. The wine evaporates and thickens as the chokes braise, lightly coating them almost in a sauce.

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
8 to 10 Medium Artichokes, Cleaned & Cut In Half
4 Garlic cloves, Peeled & Thinly Sliced
1 to 1 1/2 Cups Dry White Wine
Salt & Pepper to Taste
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Mint or Parsley

The Sentina Regional Natural Reserve - San Benedetto del Tronto, Le Marche

Tue, 21 May 2013 16:11:35 +0200

The Sentina Regional Natural Reserve has been instituted on December 14th, 2004, and it is the smallest and one of the youngest protected areas in the Marche Region.
A landscape of water and sand that stretches for about 180 hectares within the City of San Benedetto del Tronto, between the district of Porto d’Ascoli on the north and the Tronto river on the south.
For a stretch of about 1.7 km, the area on the immediate north of the mouth of the Tronto river is formed by a sand dune behind which there are small patches of brackish wetlands and salty meadows, that by now have become rare ecosystems along the Adriatic coast.
The flora of this biotope still has characteristics of extraordinary biogeographical relevance in the Marche Region, and more generally in the central-southern Adriatic Italian sector. In addition to the vegetation (the site was declared by the Marche Region “Floristic Protected Area”), the area is particularly significant for the migratory birds, since it represents one of the few stopping points for migratory birds between Gargano and the Po river wetlands, for this reason it has been recognized as a Special Protection Area and Site of Community Importance - http://www.life-rescwe.it

Lifting the Ban on Italian Cured Meats: Salumi per Tutti!

Tue, 21 May 2013 09:54:30 +0200

Have you ever smuggled delicious pancetta home from Italy? The ban on importing salumi, at least some of it, has been lifted.
According to The New York Times, this is not a simple free-for-all. It isn’t quite clear what the requirements will be for cured meats brought to the United States from Italy. But one thing is certain. We food lovers here in the U.S.A. will see more variety on our antipasti plate, and I can’t wait.
I can’t wait to host a gathering to celebrate the arrival of more variety. Now I just need to choose the perfect dry rose wine and olives to complement the feast. Salute!

Fano: Grazie al BUS, in bici lungo l'antica Flaminia

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:52:14 +0200

Sarà più bello e più facile visitare l’antica Flaminia, la strada romana che da Rimini portava a Roma passando per Fano. Nel corso dei secoli la strada ha subìto notevoli trasformazioni ma permangono numerosi tratti e manufatti originali da visitare nei vari centri attraversati. Ora, grazie a un servizio che Adriabus avvierà per la stagione estiva, ogni sabato e domenica sarà più facile seguire il percorso archeologico; si carica la propria bici su un apposito carrello a Pesaro, Fano e in altri centri della vallata del Metauro, si scende a Cantiano e si può cominciare il tragitto verso la costa visitando splendidi paesi, resti archeologici imponenti e luoghi suggestivi come la Gola del Burano e del Furlo. Il tragitto in bici, una settantina di km, è alla portata di tutti perché si pedala senza sforzi in continua leggera discesa su strade a basso traffico.

Religious Tourism in Le Marche

Mon, 20 May 2013 17:24:14 +0200

The religious tourism in Italy is in good health.

The first motivation for this type of tourism is driven by faith, but also artistic and cultural charm of churches, convents, churches, monasteries, shrines and holy places and it is evident how the promotion of religious tours enhance the area in terms of tourism.

The excellence among all the religious destinations in Le Marche Region, with around 4 million of visitors every year, is certainly the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto,

This is just the most important attraction of the religious tourism in Le Marche, but, as for Italy, almost every city, has holy places of importance for the faith and cultural interest. The large number of holy places in Le Marche, you can see in the list below, demonstrate the great tourism potential the Region can develop with an accurate policy of promotion.

Abbazia Di Chiaravalle Di Fiastra
Convento Basilica Di San Giuseppe Da Copertino
Convento Del Santissimo Salvatore
Convento Di Renacavata
Convento Di San Francesco
Convento Di Santa Maria Del Soccorso
Convento Di Santa Maria Della Pace
Convento Di Santa Maria Delle Grazie Santuario Di San Pacifico
Convento Madonna Della Quercia Noviziato Di San Gabriele
Convento Santuario Del Beato Benedetto Passionei
Convento Santuario Del Beato Sante
Convento Santuario Del Santissimo Crocifisso
Convento Santuario Di San Nicola
Eremo Di Caresto
Eremo Di Monte Giove
[…]

This kind of tourism in general is organized in Group of travellers that share moments of pray and reflection together.

In general a religious person, a priest or the pastor, organize the whole trip, deciding accommodations, transports and services.

Nowadays, travel agencies and tour operators, independently, promote trips collecting together people of different community of believers.

The facilities chosen for religious travels, especially in Le Marche, are convents, monasteries, abbeys or specific holiday homes managed by religious organizations, offering food and accommodation at affordable prices.

It is desirable that hospitality and tourist operators of Le Marche collaborate together with the existing religious structures as this works to develop a market that doesn’t know crisis and seasonality.

Just believe it.
