    Life in Italy compared to the USA

    April 1, 2020 /

    This article may contain affiliate / compensated links. For full information, please see our disclaimer.  General Observations about Life in Italy Compared to the USA The American Dream is rapidly transforming to become the European Dream — and Italy leads the transformation. While America has long provided great consumer, housing, and private travel abundance, these things are inherently less fulfilling, more inwardly focused, and more individualized. Indeed, some refer to America’s way of live today as a form of “Privatopia,” where quality of life ends when one steps outside their home, gets out of their car, or the iPad breaks down.

    This article may contain affiliate / compensated links. For full information, please see our disclaimer.  Choosing the Best Italian Wines Italy has some of the best Italian wines we’ve tasted. Italy does not export its finest wines so be sure to try some of the local wines when in Italy. Take note of the certification and wine quality when trying a local wine. We often drink the wines that come highly recommended or are truly unique to the region or restaurant. Most restaurants serve a delicious house wine, which is a basic table wine, at very affordable prices. Visit a local enoteca (an Italian wine bar) or schedule a tasting…

Gelato was invented in Italy by a Florentine named Bernardo Buontalenti in the 16th century. He served it at a banquet held by the powerful Medici family. Gelato uses fresh, local ingredients, is highly flavorful, and has an exceptionally smooth, silky texture. What are the Differences Between Gelato and Ice Cream? Gelato is not simply Italian for ice cream. While both are made with milk, cream, and sugar, gelato contains no egg yolks and has a much higher proportion of milk to cream than ice cream. Less…
