Food is central to Italian culture, and with the holidays quickly approaching, the pressure to cook a great meal is on!

Perugia, known for the defensive walls around its historic center, is an artistic hub of undeniable importance thanks to the number and magnificence of its monuments, churches, buildings and culture. If you’re planning a trip to this stunning Italian city, make sure to stop at Studio Moretti Caselli, master glass painters where, in the shadow of the Etruscan walls, preserve and hand down ancient traditions.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸 @minga.mrc⁠ ⁠ #italianissimo #italianstyle #perugia #perugiacentro #perugiatoday #perugiaitaly #perugiacentrostorico

The ‘smell of old churches’ is a scent that is as much a part of Rome’s charm as the city’s architecture, restaurants and ruins. @essenzialmentelaura_it has captured this glorious aroma and bottled it up for a sensorial experience that includes visions of ancient paintings, relics and flickering candle flames reflected on stained glass. It smells as poetic as it sounds. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #bellissimo #essenzialmentelaura ⁠ #romacapitale #romacentro #romaeterna #romanarchitecture⁠ #roma #romanchurch
