We spend a whole day in Erice, but for some reason I don’t seem to have taken any photo, maybe because Luca melted down in the middle of the little “borgo”? Maybe because he run around the restaurant where we had a remarkable Couscous. Anyway….. Here is how the water can be sucky here in Sicily
ITALIA
Exploring our backyard at la Rocca del Tuono
Can you believe this place? Here is one of the court of what here is called “Baglio”, a courtyard surrounded by walls, from the arab word bahah, a fortified house to defend people from the attack of the corsairs. What in Italy is called “Indian Figs” Olive trees

Sicily: first day at the beach
For our first day we decided to explore the proximity. The little beach right in front of La Rocca del Tuono is really beautiful, but the combination of one toddler, two kids and little and big boulders make it a little challenging… So first Stop San Vito lo Capo, stunning little touristic town right at […]

Toscana – Grosseto and outskirts
Marina di Grosseto, first time at the beach for Luca Sagra in Montepescali. In Italy, a sagra is a local festival, very often involving food (what a surprise…), is often dedicated to some specific local food, and the name of the sagra includes that food; the array of gastronomic specialties covered across Italy is amazing. This one is […]
Center of Roma with a 1 year old…
It can be challenging to move around a big city like Rome with strollers and a baby, especially using public transportation, but hey, this is our chance to be real tourists in our hometown. On our regular stroll on the Parco Lineare Ciclopedonale Monte Ciocci – Monte Mario a new bike path built over the old […]
Siena in the Summer
Our friend Douglas came to Italy for a Math summer school and we are giving him a small little tour to beautiful Siena Duomo Araldica of Siena’s Contrade.
