I was ready not to go on holidays this summer. Too many tasks to accomplish before the beginning of a new school year. Too many future extra budget expenses related to my daughter's imminent college choice. And too much talk about Italy's critical economical and financial situation.
Well, take all these elements, put them in a shaker, add some strong sense of responsibility and...
Then I realized, I need a break from all the above mentioned. And I imagined just a few beautiful sunny days in Capri, my favorite holiday island in Italy, avoiding all kind of negative Tv news.
I took a deep breath, and I made the hotel reservation. And then the train, and the ferry ones...
Suitcases are ready, and so am I.
I wish you all a nice week, my dear readers...including myself. :)

Struggling with the heat
Rome is a boiling pot. Temperature and humidity are so unusually high, that the only way to survive the heat, is to spend these days by the seaside or, if not possible, in air-conditioned places.
Today I woke up early, and could not bear the idea of spending another day at home.
I headed to Fregene (plenty of people enjoying the last days of holiday), and I stopped at Toni's.
I loved the breeze and the milder temperature so much...
...that I even

GROM
If like me, you lost your appetite because of the heat, and the only food you're looking for must be cold and refreshing, then try this ice-cream shop.
Located in proximity of the Pantheon, Grom uses only bio food and the best quality on the market. I tasted its pistachio, nuts and coffee flavors, and they are incomparable to any other ice-cream I ever had!
I am so glad, I bought some to keep in my refrigerator in case of emergency.This week is going to be the hottest in the whole summer!

Ferragosto
Everyone's reached the Italian shores or the Alps. The eternal city seems completely uninhabited, both during daytime...

La notte di San Lorenzo
The sky is clear, here in Rome. And tonight is the night of San Lorenzo, the night of the shooting stars. Each of these stars is believed to grant a wish. So I will lie down on a deck chair tonight, and stare at the sky, in search of as many stars as possible...

COROMANDEL
No doubt this a period of culinary experiences. A friend of mine just heard about this new restaurant, located a few steps away from Piazza Navona, so the other night, she organized a dinner there.
Coromandel carries only 26 seats, and is a very
