Emotions that return and evoke the past, history, ancient traditions dating back to the dawn of time.
Places that suddenly take you back in other eras, to a simpler past and at the same time more glamorous and refined.
Typical dishes that speak of the history and culture of a people, well reflect the common view and customs that are the basis of all the oldest traditions.
Just think when we enter a typical trattoria or restaurant, we are immediately surrounded by all the history of the city that we are visiting, we feel immediately accepted as part of the community and connected to a new land, a bit ‘cosmopolitan.
Visiting a new place is a wonderful thing, it opens your mind, connects you with other peoples, allows you to meet new and interesting people and makes you discover all the curiosities and traditions related to that place.
Discovering typical handicrafts, real gems set in the historic centers, makes you understand the history of a people and its most hidden secrets. Going in search of these places is like a real treasure hunt and you are faced with true pearls of culture, tradition, charm a little vintage but very current, that charm that only history gives.
In all cities there are places unknown to tourists, and sometimes even the inhabitants, where you can really breathe an air of tradition that is likely to be lost forever if it is not always stimulated and preserved at all times.
Even the typical recipes can be a real treasure trove of information, we can taste all the tradition, culture and history of a people.
