Juicy, sweet, and tangy, oranges are, along with lemons, a symbol of the bountiful land our South is. Their colors are those of light and the sun, their scent reminds us of fresh, crisp mornings. When burned on the fire, their fragrant peels spell one word in our hearts: Christmas.  Sicily is Italy’s largest producer of oranges, with about 1.6 mill...

My favorite part of my daily routine is drinking coffee in the morning. Whether brewed at home or from one of my favorite coffee shops, it’s a time when I can relax and have my much-needed alone time to recharge, do homework or chill with a friend. When arriving in Italy, naturally one of the first things I did was seek out a cup of coffee the morn...

Named after the first son of Enzo Ferrari, the Dino engine family started out with 2.0- and 2.4-liter V6 mills for street-legal applications. The V8 followed in the ‘70s.

Not only worries about markets and expensive prices but also good news for Italian wine: in two years, despite the pandemic, consumers have grown, especially among young people. The health battles do not scare wine lovers: for most of them, moderate consumption is not bad (and only 1 in 10 knows what Nutriscore is). Organic and native vines are amo...

Tiramisu is one of Italy's best-loved desserts, one that's widespread in both the north and south. The original recipe includes a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers covered with a cream made from mascarpone, eggs, and sugar – which in some cases can be “reinforced” with a touch of liqueur. Unsweetened cocoa powder is then sprinkled on top of the cr...
