Gustiamo.com: the programme

Great! I was too busy, too lazy and too tired (I'll tell you why) to write a proper post on wednesday, so here we are.
It should have been one day, in fact it's been 3 days, intense but very funny.

First day, after meeting at lunchtime, we just stroll around Ancona's city centre, for a walk in the Mercato delle Erbe (one of the least known places of this beautiful city), then to the fishing port. A piatto di pasta at the Ristorante Passetto (the best of the city, but... have you ever heard about it in the restaurant guides? It's a real mistery!), and then straight to Loretello, to have a taste of oil with Giuditta Politi (they don't have only wine!). Of course, no highways, all through the hills and valleys of the Monte San Vito and Morro d'Alba area. At 6 pm we were watching the terrecotte of Fratte Rosa, and buying a couple of pots and the typical "testo" to cook the piadina. For dinner, we stayed with Antonio Tombolini, in Loreto.

The following day, we went to Fermo, at Frantoio Oleario Ciucani, and then directly to Osimo, at the Pastificio Latini, where I left Beatrice and Pietro for the rest of the day, after having a great Rigatoni con Piselli e Pomodori (Rigatoni pasta with peas and fresh tomatoes)- delizioso! - and a walk at the experimental wheat fields of the Latini's, where they grow different kind of wheats to have the best pasta of the world.

But it wasn't enough, so the next morning (at 2am!!!) I woke up with Pietro to show him the fish auction (if you go to Fishtel's website, you'll know what I'm talking about). He was extremely happy to see such a special ordinary-event, which I recommend to all those who are seriously interested in fish markets.

What else? The golf site in Sirolo, just below the Monte Conero, and a dinner at La Madonnina del Pescatore (but Beatrice and Pietro were with the Latinis), and the magical Marche at a glance are served!

Ha veramente un suo perché

Questo articolo è dedicato al mitico James Henderson Finlayson. Uno dei personaggi comprimari semisconosciuti di nome. Ma poi, a vedere il viso, si capisce subito chi sia. Icona della comicità in bianco e nero, tanto quanto la (magistrale) controparte.

Last Saturday on Tv, tomorrow with Gustiamo.com

I'm not yet calmed down from the excitement to watch me myself on Tv, last Saturday (I'll put the reportage on the website as soon as possible). Moreover, tomorrow I'll be with Beatrice and Pietro from Gustiamo.com, an excellent website which sells Italian food in the Usa (one of the only places to find it). What are we going to do? They would like to have a one-day Japanese-like tour of Le Marche... I'll do my best, and I'll let you know next Wednesday!!! What I am sure of, is that we will have a lot of fun, I bet!

The act # 40/2004, aka "act against the assisted procreation"

I think it might be interesting to put on my blog one of the thousands "campaing" powerpoints to go and vote against the act. It's very important, because one cannot impose over the others his principles and his religiouse beliefs.

Here is the file (in Italian, but I think is highly comprehensible).

What about bullshits?

Few days ago, wandering through the web, thanks to Marc-at-Wisbey, I found the great blog by Briankane. On 3rd March, the great post about bullshit, and a book written by a Princeton professor. I want the book!
