01072019 In Naples we took the time to see some crafts outside of menswear - in this case, jewellery. Barbarulo in its modern incarnation is closely associated with menswear.

01102019 A few weeks ago I was in Sorrento in the spectacular Hotel Parco dei Principi to be exact.

01112019 Lucia Pica, looked to her home city of Naples and the ever-changing landscape and history. It provided the mood for colours and techniques that offer a warm and rich approach to sunkissed beauty. The name Neapolis – or ‘New City’ – reflects Naples’ origins as an ancient Greek colony clashing with contemporary lifestyle that Pica reflects in her choice of greens, yellows, golds, reds and blacks.

01132019 If there in winter (we visited in early December — highly recommended!) I would not miss the local broccoi, called friarelli.

I could have eaten a whole bowl. 12 Must Try Foods in Naples –  Eat Like a Local in Naples | Spanish Sabores
01142019 In Campania, they use a local squash called cocozza, which looks rather like a butternut squash with variegated green skin.

01162019 There is a mild climate here all year round, lush and wild nature, crystal clear sea, dream beaches, and picturesque centers; in essence, Ischia is a microcosm of environments that are anything but homogeneous, but of equal beauty.
