Kimberly's Italy

We were so lucky to spend a few days at a quintessential Tuscan farmhouse, but this one comes with a whole lot of dog love! 8 dachshunds and 1 yellow lab who luckily never left our side. Everything we ate and drank came from their property which is the definition of Zero KM. Besides the full of flavor meals and the hearty and delicious wine, we were so happy to meet the other guests and get to know the friendly and generous staff. Staying in a small farmhouse like this is the best way to immerse yourself into the traditional Italian way of country life, which is simply to work hard, plant and harvest your own food and wine, and share it with others. Throw in 9 dogs, and it was pure heaven! https://www.kimberlysitaly.com Instagram [https://www.kimberlysitaly.com%20%20Instagram%20Facebook%20] Facebook  [https://www.facebook.com/ItalianTripsbyKimberly/]

We are back in the fabulous little city of Pisa and we genuinely want to convince you that you should spend hours in the Duomo and the Camposanto. There are many buildings and interiors that I hold dear, but the Camposanto is one of my absolute favorites!  You will walk among centuries of history and be in awe of the design and attention that went into the celebration of paying homage to the dead – but not in a creepy way! It's beautiful and worthy of your visit.   Pisa is a design lovers mecca. https://www.kimberlysitaly.com * Instagram [https://instagram.com/kimberlysitaly?utm_medium=copy_link] * Facebook  [https://www.facebook.com/ItalianTripsbyKimberly]

In this podcast, Tommaso informs our listeners about the delay in releasing a full episode of Kimberly's Italy due to an infrastructure problem with our hosting provider. This problem has affected not only podcasts but also banks, causing delays in deposits and ACH payments. Tommaso acknowledges the inconvenience and assures listeners that we will release a new episode next week.

The famous tower that leans is why most people visit Pisa, however there is so much more to explore in this small and multi-hued city. The color palette is muted yet beautiful, and the architecture is a cohesive mix of Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic. It's a walkable city that truly loves it's aperitivo hour! Don't do the day tripper concept that so many do. Stay the night in order to see and experience everything Pisa has to offer, including the Leaning Tower...and then spend a second night since the crowds are long gone! https://www.kimberlysitaly.com * Instagram [https://instagram.com/kimberlysitaly?utm_medium=copy_link] * Facebook  [https://www.facebook.com/ItalianTripsbyKimberly]

We are so happy we chose Torino for our first stop on our 3-week road trip in Italy. It is not on the greatest hitÕs list, which right there, says enough! It is a working, living city that accepts tourists, but on it's terms. You almost feel like you belong even as a tourist if you appreciate and respect their history, which we did in spades. Amazing architecture, appreciation of history in regards to literature and the arts, and obviously all things food and wine related. Take a listen, and make Torino a destination you should definitely put on your list. https://www.kimberlysitaly.com * Instagram [https://instagram.com/kimberlysitaly?utm_medium=copy_link] * Facebook  [https://www.facebook.com/ItalianTripsbyKimberly]
