Maria · Liberati, Italian romantic escape recognized by the author of the basic artist of Italian cuisine
Today, Bookpleasures.com and Sketchandtravel.com are pleased with the super model and author of Cookbook 'Basic Art of Italian Cuisine' released as soon as a guest of Maria Liberalati. The cookbook contains a recipe that Maria found as a farmer's farm as well as a family vineyard guest. Encounters with chefs from Italian trattoria (restaurants) are also included. In addition, this book contains stories about Malia's travel around Italy.
Maria was the former Miss Pennsylvania and Miss International World, but Maria betrayed me. It gave her a great deal of experience and confidence. She has a degree from a foreign language Temple University, and as a marketing consultant, spokesperson for TV and print advertising, demand from many kinds of food companies in Europe is rising.
The following is an interview conducted by an editor of Premium Goldman (Bookpleasures). Com and Sketchandtravel.com are with Maria, which provides us with very timely information related to Italian romantic vacation. Maria is living in Italy for 6 months this year.
Code: Please tell the reader about yourself and your expertise related to Italian romantic vacation.
Maria: My grandmother and his family owned a vineyard in the mountains of Abruzzi. I actually learned a lot about Italian cuisine. In addition, due to my modeling career, I spent a lot of time in Italy.
When I was not modeling I got the opportunity to study Italian cuisine. This is the Italian language of a country farm which is also a bed & breakfast that serves meals using fresh ingredients cultivated and produced in different parts of Italy.
Generally, tourists tend to know where they are popular and crowded. By traveling through Italy with cars and feet, windows were made in some of the most magnificent streets.
Norm: You say you have a lot of experience in staying at a bed & breakfast in an organic farm in Italy (Agritour Rhythm). Please tell the reader something about these B & Bs. Why do you think it is appropriate as a romantic or honeymoon destination?
Maria: Not only is it a wonderful place to learn about Italian food, the agritourism is one of the most romantic vacations in Italy. They are usually located on a hill with a breathtaking view of the town. When you are located in a city like Rome, you can see that it is far from the main area. Therefore, they are usually located in peaceful, quiet and beautiful surroundings. Can you be more romantic than staying in a vineyard, can you enjoy a peaceful walk by picking fresh fruits while walking?
In addition, staying in Agriturismo will ensure that the highest quality fresh ingredients are always available in plenty. No doubt, this is perfect for tourists, and is often far better than meals at very expensive restaurants.
A comprehensive package is generally available and in most cases turns out to be far more economical than staying in the hotel.
Norm: Why did you choose Italy as the destination for a romantic getaway, wedding, honeymoon?
Maria: Italy is not one of the best places for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. Besides breathtaking beauty and romantic scenery, there are also Italian lifestyles.
Italians love romance, and that song is all based on romance and affection. People love watching couple walking in limbs and arms in arms. Even a simple ceremony just to eat makes you feel romantic. A long ceremony will be drawn out when you sit down and eat at a restaurant or have dinner at a bed & breakfast. In other words, it is an activity that is shared and enjoyed between the two people and does not end in ten minutes.
Take an Italian picnic as an example. If you choose to do voluntary romantic picnics, you can access some of the most romantic places in the world. Furthermore, you can enjoy fresh bread and pizza in local cheese shops and cheeses in supermarkets as well as local fornos.
Even major cities such as Rome, Milan and Florence have a quiet road where you can taste your food and enjoy a romantic atmosphere.
In the center of Rome is Villa Borghese. Of course, if you do not pay attention to noise and congestion, there is a Spanish Steps.
Do not skip the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, which are popular places for improvised picnics.
If you are in a small town, finding beautiful sceneries in a quiet place is certainly not difficult. One word of advice respect the property you are doing and do not forget to clean up after your picnic.
Norm: Why is Italian cooking class popular?
Mary: Actually it is a new trend, my company has received many requests to couple these packages for the couple. Actually, I work with journalists in an article that will be posted on Women and Fitness Magazine in February 2005. Of course, the theme is around St. Valentine's Day. Anyway, couples tend to take cooking lessons not only in Italy but also in the USA. Is there a better way to share a wonderful experience, create something together, and then enjoy the romantic experience of eating what you just created?
It is time for Americans to realize what Italians knew for years. Cooking is a wonderful romantic experience. It is not a threat in that you can be creative at your pace together and be able to join romantic meals together. It will be a prelude to watch a romantic movie. You can even shop together in the local fresh food market before cooking the meal. It is a wonderful romantic trend and is getting more and more popular.
Nome: What is the best time to visit Italy in terms of weather, cost, number of people?
Maria: I visited Italy every season, but I rarely stay there. But when I have to choose the time I like, it will be summer and fall, and I can enjoy the beautiful Italian sun shining in a colorful landscape.
August is usually the most sunrise, but it is the busiest.
If you do not want to coincide the August audience by chance, the weather is warmer than usual, so July may be a wonderful moon.
Early autumn may cost a lot of money. And, usually at the end of August, not only tourists but also Italians go back to school and work. It will be rainy season when fall fall falls.
Christmas is another possibility, and a very beautiful season. But unless you are in agriturismo, it may be expensive and crowded. As all the houses are not illuminated by Christmas light bulbs, they are not more commercial than the United States. The food you experience and the feeling in the air are very romantic! Having spent the New Year's Eve in the center of Rome and watching the magnificent fireworks display at the Colosseum, there is nothing to do every year and there is no other experience like anyone else.
Norm: If you needed to choose five attractive places in Italy as a romantic getaway, honeymoon or wedding destination, why?
Maria: First of all, I have to say that it is really difficult to narrow down my choices until five events. Also be aware that some of the things I have chosen are not ordinary places people may choose. I like to find unusual commercial not favorites.
- Ischia Island: In August 2004, I visited friends who owned and operated a wonderful bed and breakfast in the folio town. Located on a 30-mile island that is divided into about 5 separate small cities, the city of Ischia is the main thing.
Why Ishcia?
It is famous for its spa as a result of thermal water. In the volcanic cave of Ischia there is a sauna that actually exists, not a human being.
The ocean view is absolutely breathtaking while you are spending an outdoor spa or outdoor spa on the beach and you will imagine you are in paradise. Water and blue blue is so dark and blue that I feel like being in the middle of a living picture.
I am convinced that immersing in the scenery is also related to it a lot, but it is wonderful how the mood has resurrected after receiving hot water supplement.
There are romantic little plazas in each of the five towns of Ischia, and there are unique castles in the main town of Ischia. Also, romantic outdoor cafes, shops, coffee bars, the moonlight shining in the sea, occasionally outdoor musicians are singing old romantic Naples songs accompanied by mandolin music. Oh, all the romance of it!
If you have ever seen an award-winning Italian chair poster (postman), Procida Island is filmed right next to Ischia.
-ROME: The next place I choose will be the city of Rome. Yes, it is a big city, but as a traveling Italian tells us, if you know how to find the way around you there is nothing like the city of Rome.
Why Rome?
Walking around Rome is like life in an art museum.
Rome consists of various hills with spectacular scenery. My favorite is the beautiful Monte Mario of the city panorama. The other is on the Spanish Steps. There is a beautiful fountain in front of the stairs. Going to the top of the stairs, there is a luxurious view overlooking the city. You can also enjoy the improvised picnic here.
Do not forget Borghese Park. It was the territory of the royal family. Borghese became a beautiful park dotted with beautiful statues and ponds. It is the perfect place to enjoy romantic walks and improvisation picnics.
One of the most romantic plazas (plaza) is in Piazza Navona, especially at night with many outdoor restaurants and beautiful statues. There is the famous and beautiful Bar de la Pace just outside Piazza Navona. It is a favorite of international celebrities. Also, if you want to eat wonderful pizza please ask local fornio. There is freshly baked pizza and bread. Romans are famous for a kind of role called Rosetta, which is tough but at the same time bright and airy. So when you ask Rosetta to eat a lot of cheese, you can eat a nice picnic type lunch or snack.
- Venice is a very romantic place. I quit without recommending Venice. It is one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in the world, but it has just become a tourist. But if you can go to Italy and do it, you must see Venice and experience its beauty.
Why Venice?
Just take a water taxi that takes you to the island and you can become romantic by taking in the beauty surrounding you. If you truly want a romantic view of the city, the moon will shine in the water in the evening, the beauty of Venice will be lit with the moonlight shine.
You will fall in love with your romantic and important others while experiencing this type of opinion together.
Of course, there are also traditional things such as visiting Saint Louis. Mark & # 39; s Square, enjoy outdoor cafes and restaurants, and explore the small canals and back streets.
Regarding the facility to eat, the key to finding great food is to find a more intimate meal place that is perfect for locals, not for tourists.
- Tuscany
Tuscany is a beautiful romantic destination.
Why Tuscan?
Here you can find some romantic agriturismos that offer nice fresh ingredients. Even if you are away from the place, there is a possibility of a day trip to Florence and Pisa. In this way avoid the expensive hotel and at the same time feel the feeling that you really live in Italy.
The wines made in Tuscany are wonderful and please experience them.
Florence is a city full of beautiful works of art.
Of course there is the Uffizi Gallery, which holds the most beautiful art objects in the world. Outside the galleries there is the statue of Florence's most famous citizen, including Michelangelo and Galileo, and Florence's rich guardian supports their work.
The two romantic spots in Florence are as follows: The main square is in Della Signoria Square, there is a David statue (the Italian knows David) and a replica of the Ponte Vecchio bridge. This bridge crosses the River Arno and you can see the beautiful view of the city from the bridge. In addition to this, walking tours of vineyard areas such as Chianti and Montepulciano, and you own victory spots.
-OLTRANTO
Oltranto is located in Puglia and is a sea resort.
Why OLTRANTO?
If you can use Italian movies again to feel this landscape - award winning movie - Meditteranne - Look at the nice comedy about war. But the scenery is breathtaking. Most of the movies are done in a part of Greece. However, Oltranto's deep blue water and whitish white color of the surrounding buildings are very similar to the color of this movie made in Greece and the landscape of the waterfront.
Due to the shortage of industry in Oltranto, the water is clear.
Oltranto also has outdoor cafés and shops and you can look over the deep blue sky and clear water. Other beautiful cities suitable for day trips are nearby. Lecce is a city full of beautiful and elegant art. Most churches and statues are Baroque styles. Lecce is perfect for romantic walking tours. At any of these venues, we can not find a crowd of tourists at other common venues. Alberobello is also worth a day trip. Although it is a very tourist city, it is worth appreciation of Trulli.
Trulli is these conical houses in certain areas of Puglia. These have actually been used as houses for many years. In Alberobello, most specialty stores are in Trulli. You can experience unfamiliar countryside and the beach is clean and not organized on a commercial basis.
Norway: How long before a couple needs to prepare a honeymoon or a vacation in Italy?
Maria: For honeymoon or romantic getaway, you should actually start your idea and plan at least a year ago. Reservations for hotels, destinations etc. should be planned at least 3-6 months ago. Italy, especially for weddings and romantic holidays, is a favorite place for many people.
A certain period of the year tends to be reserved more often, especially in the summer. It also depends on the time of the year.
Nome: What you should know about people planning weddings in Italy
Maria: If you are an American citizen, you need three documents, mainly to apply for the appropriate document for the Italian wedding:
* US passport
*Birth certificate
If you divorce or die, death sentence judgment
Documents required by the Italian government are as follows.
* Atto Notorio can be acquired independently in the USA. This basically consists of meeting with your own witness in front of the Italian consulate (going to one of the nearest cities near you). Each consultation has different requirements. (To obtain the requirements of Atto Notorio, please call the nearest Italian consulate).
* The next document is Apostille. This is a document obtained from your Secretary of State. Just by contacting the Secretary of State Office, filling in the form and sending it will be sent a seal considered as apostille.
* Your birth, divorce and / or death certificates need to be translated from the Secretary of State to Italian.
These documents will expire after 3 months. You can not complete these three months or more ago.
Thank you Mary and good luck with all of your future efforts.
Maria has her own WEB site under construction before and will be completed at the time of launching her cooking book "Basic Art of Italian Cuisine" by the spring of 2005.
