Foodie bite of history: Caterina de' Medici, wife of King Henry Il of France, was responsible for spreading gelato in Europe, & with the Sicilian Francesco Procopio, who opened an ice cream shop in Paris in the late 1600s, made gelato increasingly popular. #foodie #italy #culture

Ever walk through a gallery and wonder why Roman (and Greek!) statues have such small penises? It was all about 'moderation' … so not to lead to temptation & sinful thoughts w.lpnt.fr/2543625t via @LePoint #art #history #sin #culture #Italia #madeinitaly

When men read my book to better understand how to behave with Italian girls… esp the Boston-Sicilian-variety 😇🇮🇹🙏🏻 rb.gy/iz3tj #italiangirl #italianamerican #italiana #madeinitaly #romance #travel #culture #indieauthors #BooksWorthReading #italy #italian #boston

Sunday lunches were always a big part of my Sicilian family's tradition when my nonna was alive. Reminiscing today as I prepare her pasta alle vongole. #foodie #italiangirl #culture #italianamerican #culture #travel #travel #mediterraneandiet #HealthyLiving

Buona Pasqua! My adapted version of torta alla ricotta … laced with Amaretto and lemon rind. There is an explosion of springtime in every bite. Easter is one of my preferred holidays (for the food), Sicilian style, of course! amzn.to/3nYFt3C #foodie #easter #culture
