I'm Piero Pagliardini, and I will be your guide on these incomparable cultural vacations. I am a certified international sommelier, and the creator of tours.
Sant'Angelo holds an infiorata, or flower festival, every July. Mutli-colored flower petals are used to create works of art on the streets and in front of abbeys. The finished works usually last only a few hours and is part of what makes them so rare and special. #italianatours
The most exciting event in Mercatello is the two-week preparation and ensuing festivities of the Palio del Somaro based on the famous Palio of Siena – a horse race within the grand piazza of Siena. In this case, just replace horses with donkeys and enjoy the party! #italianatours
Charcoal burning is one of the oldest human crafts. As an occupation it has almost died out in most developed countries. However, this artisan trade can still be seen just outside of my hometown in Le Marche. Call me for a map:) #italianatours
You know it's summer in Italy when you start having fried zucchini flowers! There are several ways to make your batter. The picture below is with a beer batter. I enjoy it because it's super easy and I can finish the beer as the flowers cook:) #italianatours .
It's National Red Wine Day. 🍷🍷🍷
A red, served between 62 and 68 degrees, makes closing out August a bit easier here in Texas. Want to know the best red for red wine day? Ask Piero, & come with us to Italy and experience the best red wines in the vineyards they were grown.
