Thanks Ann! A great post. I want to BE THERE and eat ALL 10 of those foods!!
Ooops…that would be 12 of those foods!! 🙂
Ann what a wonderful article. The words, the food & the scenery makes me want to hop a plane right now & fly away to heaven. My son saw Rome last year & he loved it & didn’t have time to explore any other city but brought back loads of pictures of Rome which were beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful education
That’s what I got to do is figure out a way to get to Italy. I want to sample the street food, it would save finding a restaurant. I also want to go to Nina’s Pizzeria when Ignazio is home & not on tour. That’s wishful thinking.
If anyone read Janis’s column this morning today is Allessandras birthday. Hope he is home for her.
Loretta, I think we should all go to Nina’s pizzeria. I know you and Marie can make the reservation. lol
Jane I commented on the previous page regarding the song Brian sang.
I saw it Loretta and answered you back! 🙂
Well I thought Jane some ladies don’t want to admit they can sing. They may be shy etc. There is nothing definite about a fan faire yet so we can wait. I really like that song that Brian sings
