Vigili di Fuoco

Posted 12-06-2008 at 12:37 PM by burntbythetuscansun (Burnt by the Tuscan Sun, The True Story of Living in Italy)

I have a neighbor that I secretly admire (well, okay, lust after). He’s a Fireman. And he came right out of Central Casting. He is such a dark-haired hunk that I’ve often thought about setting fire to my apartment just so I can get him to come over. Each day, I see him come and go, off to work. But sometimes, I just can’t help but think that he must have been so totally disappointed to have passed all his endurance tests and exams and whatnot, only to be sitting around the Firehouse with absolutely...

Italian Bloggers Guilty of "Stampa Clandestina"

Posted 12-02-2008 at 05:20 PM by justindemetri

A few quick notes from the journey...

Trips: We took a Medieval walking tour on our last day (Sunday) there to Castello Monaldeschi before leaving for Fiumicino the next day. Wonderful walk! It started from the Piazza San Rocco, up the stairs by Sartoria Alessia, and all the way up past Via de' Medici to the castle area. (You can read the details on this and other suggested walks in Fleur Kinson's guidebook "Bolsena - Everything You Need To Know".) Amazing views -- not to...
