How do you write about travel when you’re not traveling? We’re sequestered, our wings are clipped and we’re in “a fallow period.” Here are some of our favorite pieces while we wait to continue our travels (we hope) in 2021.  Let’s go!
Italy’s terra-cotta landscape is rustic, golden, timeless. But tell me, do you sometimes miss the color blue?  Let’s go “caccia di blu!”

We serve our espresso in blue, with a splash of modern stripes.

Our alpaca-blend “Maggie” shawl warms WWII hero Vassano Pietro of Argegno.

New blue water pipes are ready for service and make a striking waterfront graphic, too.

This two-hue-blue scarf is courtesy of our friend Signore Franco – grazie Franco!

In Italy, blue tells you what to do, where you are, and which way to go.

Blue is serious, it is the color of INFORMAZIONE. Pay attention!

Sometimes the instructional blue gets lost and leads nowhere.

But mostly it is telling you something you need to know.

Blue is the color of St. Anna’s robe, and sometimes her eyes.

Another lovely blue halo! Note the turquoise flourish on his wrist.

Taste Lavazza Blue, one of Italy’s finest coffees. If you’re bored, count the spoons.

A sturdy Fiat Panda comes in 50 shades of blue – we have rented them all.

Sometimes an unexpected patch of blue just sneaks up on you.

And if you’re lucky, blue is the color of the endless Italian sky each day. Ciao!
