So you've travelled to Italy fallen in love with it and come back again and again?  Where else should you go? On of the best kept hidden secrets is the lake district just a hop skip and a jump from the city of Milan. These lakes are some of the most beautiful in the world. The most famous one, of course, is Lago di Como and it is much more than just the place where George Clooney bought a villa. Rob has a wonderful conversation with local resident, guide and food connoisseur Carlotta. They go over what would be a perfect day to experience all the senses for an unforgettable day starting from taking a ride in a wonderful Venetian taxi boat crossing the lake and seeing beautiful villas and gardens and then finishing up the journey with a perfect Italian meal of local foods and wines. Have a listen and be transported to something precious and wonderful, a day on the Lago di Como!

Have you ever been curious about what Easter traditions are like in Italy?  Easter in Italy sometimes can be considered more sacred an important than Christmas for the Catholic faith.  Listen in to Rob as he goes over many different traditions that were developed centuries ago when the country of Italy did not exist. It is fascinating to hear about how so many different areas and regions of present day Italy have their own very specific traditions and culinary delights.
