Afternoon Espresso

Italians understand the meaning of life… espresso and ricciarella (a melt in your mouth almond cookie) in the afternoon.

Ignasio told me that he still gets lost in the beautiful scenery driving to and from work. Ignasio makes the best gelato in town. He takes a great deal of pride in his work, is very imaginative in his flavor combinations and uses only the best, freshest ingredients. This is my impression of Italians as a whole.

Live every moment… take pride in everything that you do… get lost in the scenery…eat simply and use the freshest ingredients.

Every moment should be a celebration, la dolce vita!  This is the lesson for life, from Italia.
