Wine And Umbria, Italy By: Kristy Mills | - Getting to know Italy means not only getting to know the well-known and common cities, towns, popular places, and attractions, but also some of the lesser known ones. One of these places is Umbria. It is a somewhat isolated area that lies directly in the middle of Italy. This makes it the only area in Italy that is not a seacoast and does not have a foreign neighbor. The gentle countryside is composed of hills, valleys, and small mountains.

A Cookery Course In Le Marche Italy With A Difference By: Vincent Sandford | - Last May 2009, an invitation arrived to act as an interpreter in a cookery course held at the Osteria La Loggia degli Ottoni, Matelica, Italy. Although having two left hands in the kitchen, I gladly accepted the invitation with a hint of excitement. What would be so special about this course? Who would be the participants? How much would I learn? These were all the questions running through my mind.
