This is one of only three churches in the world that are supposedly built on top an apostle's tomb. This one houses the remains of Thomas the Apostle - the other two are the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and … [Read more...]

Going to Rome with Children

April 23, 2012 by Hans BeltranLeave a Comment

Although it always depends of your kids' favorite activities, energy level and interests, the capital of Italy can be a quite rough place to bring children under eight for many reasons. Narrow and cobblestone streets crowded with tourists, bicycles and Vespas, plus constant traffic jams under the wild, hot, shiny sun of the summer, is not the best scenario for those pushing a stroller. In fact, this experience can easily overwhelm the younger … [Read more...]

Tuscan Delights

March 21, 2012 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

When I first married into a Tuscan family, I was stunned at the sheer number of butcher shops that stood under the elegant porticos in Greve-in-Chianti's gracious piazza.

Americans may be known for consuming large quantities of beef, but Tuscans are … [Read more...]
