Italian cuisine is associated with the sun, the sea and beautiful mountain views. This is not only
delicious food in every season, it is also an aesthetic pleasure and a performance. Especially if
you don't speak Italian.
The dishes themselves are tasty, interesting and fragrant. At the same time, the beauty around
and the temperament of the Italians make a visit to a café in Italy an unforgettable event. It seems
that Italians themselves treat food the same way they treat foreigners. Being in Italy, you quickly
become imbued with a respect shifted from the usual priority of values, where beauty, delicious
food and companionship come first.
We once missed the train from Venice to enjoy beer and pizza at sunset after a hot day. I had to
travel 200 km in a taxi. Another time they did not want to leave the seaside town where they
could eat the wonderful Mediterranean cuisine in an outdoor bar right on the seafront.
When I remember food in Italy, I remember first of all the view from the restaurant. To the hills,
castles and hazelnut groves for Nutella in Tuscany, or the sea and rocks in Genoa, or the orderly
red-roofed houses in Milan. In all cases the food is excellent.
Perhaps such a priority is the most correct attitude to life?
