Actress Helen Mirren and her well-known passion for Italian olive oil 🇮🇹🫒 A true treasure for the palate, the table and our health Helen owns a masseria in Puglia When Xylella struck her olive trees, she was forced to replace them with resistant varieties Today she is actively involved with the Save the Olives association, which fights the disease, funds research and works to protect the region’s centuries-old olive trees Puglia alone produces around 40% of Italy’s olive oil Its leading varieties — especially Coratina — yield bold, intensely bitter and pungent oils, characterised by that distinctive “kick” at the back of the throat These oils rank among the richest in polyphenols (often 500–1,000+ mg/kg), exceptional natural antioxidants that deliver powerful benefits: • cardiovascular protection • anti-ageing properties • anti-inflammatory effects In short: a full-flavoured oil with outstanding nutraceutical qualities! Use it generously, every day ✨

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty. It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome. As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry. This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles. The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.

R.I.P. Carlo Petrini... the Italian founder of the Slow Food Movement. His visionary ideas redefined the global conversation around food, transforming the simple act of eating into a powerful social and political statement. #CarloPetrini #SlowFood #Italy #visionary #globalfood

Pope Leo's message to the Turin International Book Fair, May 14 - 18, that literature must promote human dignity, peace and fraternity....stressing that children, especially amid 'the horror of war' and 'chill of indifference,' offer the world hope.
Pope Leo: “Reading nourishes the mind, helps cultivate a conscious and well-formed critical sense, and guards against fundamentalisms and ideological shortcuts.” Reading is “an antidote to closed-mindedness, which manifests in rigid attitudes and reductive views of reality.” vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…
