Italy is experiencing a gentle reawakening<\/strong>. Like a poppy blossoming in the spring, the first buds of the country\u2019s reopening are a sign of a traveller\u2019s return to the cities, towns and villages that make the Bel Paese one of the world\u2019s most charming and sought-after travel destinations<\/strong>. The beauty of Italy is that even during the challenging period of being forced to shutter, the gentle lilting rhythm of everyday life never stopped. That relaxed cadence accompanies us when we travel in our beloved country and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Rituals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Every morning, barista brew the perfect espresso with cornetti<\/em> (croissants) from local pasticceria<\/em>. Fruttivendolo<\/em> (greengrocer) lovingly sets out fresh seasonal vegetables, the forno<\/em> (bakery) churns out loaves of scrumptious pane<\/em> (bread) and the convivial Buongiorno<\/em> (good morning) can be heard amongst neighbours, colleagues and friends as they catch up on all the latest pettegolezzo<\/em> (gossip).  What seems like hanging out is often called il dolce far niente<\/em> (the beautiful art of doing nothing), we like to think of it enjoying time – <\/strong>to say hello, choose what you love and want, and just appreciate the moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
