		<description><![CDATA[I suppose Italophiles or at least the readers of my blog are familiar with Carnevale. If not, surely you know about Mardi Gras in New Orleans or Rio. Carnevale, wherever it is held, usually starts a few days before the start of  Lent and peaks on Fat Tuesday &#8211; the day before the start of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read some stuff in the New York Times, my most regular source of news, about the appallingly bad weather in eastern Europe along with associated deaths. However there has been virtually no mention of the fact that the weather in Italy almost everywhere is very bad.  There has even been snow in Naples which is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bocce is one of the oldest games around with origins dating to 5000 B.C. The current form of the game is definitely Italian in origin but the French game of petanque which is played primarily in France and Spain is similar. The general principles of both games are the same but bocce is played on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it has been some time since I have done a post – other things keep intruding. But I received an email from my friend Claudia sometime before Christmas mentioning the opportunities to stuff oneself over the holidays and she mentioned Befana.

Just a week after I had arrived in Italy Paolo invited me to a barbecue (his word) at his country place near Imola.  Paolo is an orthodontist and almost everyone (at least the men) [...]]]></description>
