We all love chocolate Easter eggs. In order to celebrate chocolate, we go to Perugia, in central Italy. In this episode I will narrate the story of the famous Italian chocolate 'Bacio' by Perugina. Afterwards, I will introduce to you Piero Vannucci, known as Perugino, who was one of the masters of the Early Italian Renaissance alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffaello.

Episode 1 - Rieti, the Sabine legends and the Holy valley

Our travel across Italy starts from the place where I was born, the town of Rieti. This pre-roman town intertwines its history with the foundation of Rome. Nowadays, medieval traces are visible everywhere in the city centre and in the surroundings where St.Francis lived for some time in the XIII century a.C. Finally, you may want to enjoy a tasty slice of mimosa cake in the original place where it was invented in 1950.  Make your experience even more funny and attractive by visiting the public Pinterest board available at the following link.  Pictures and links for further information are ready for you! https://www.pinterest.it/chocolartpodcast/episode-1-rieti-and-the-holy-valley/
