Have you ever dreamed of going to real Italy? Where families sit around big picnic tables in the country side with red and white chequered table cloths? Drinking amazing red wine, biting into the freshest bruschetta, having the tastiest oven cooked pizza melt in your mouth next to some home made tomato sauced up al dente pasta? Maybe with a side of juicy sausages that have just been grilled over an open flame? All the while kids run around chasing dogs, the adults dance to the live music and the elderly sit back and tell stories of times once passed? I know I did hehe, and I was a lucky lucky boy who was blessed with the opportunity to experience it; We had arrived! Jeremy and I. After our adventure in Radda we had finally made it to the rural Italian town of Il Colle (near Monti in Chianti). We had been invited out to a festival by the wonderfully talented photographer Lelia Scarfiotti. It felt like we had stepped foot into an old Italian painting. We were surrounded in the culture, the landscape, the people, the food and wine. It was incredible! A dream come true :)
Viva Italia!
A big thank you Lelia for the invite and to the townspeople for letting us be a part of Festa al Colle. It was an unforgettable night and I look forward to returning one day soon :)
