j

Pienza, pizza, palazzo, piazza, prosciutto, pecorino!

Are we stuck again? How about San Quirico?

R---- Ravello, ah Ravello, rucola, risotto, risi, ricotta, renaissance, riva schiavone, (vino)rosso

S = Siena, Santa Croce, San Gimignano

Ravello? In Tuscany?
T: Tavarnelle

U= Uffizi Gallery, Paolo Uccello

V=Villa, VAT, & vineyards

W=Waaaaaaaaaaa I don't wanna go home!

I'm adding a V for Volterra!

I'm (figuratively) day late and a dollar short, Marilyn. How about: quanto, quando, quarto, questione?

With apologies to those who picked Lucca as the "L" word, the only true "L" word in Italy is and always shall be Limoncello.

OMG Tom, how <i>could</i> we have forgotten the big L? Grazie for setting us back on the right path!

I'm sure those who picked Lucca picked with their hearts. I picked from the other big &quot;L&quot; word...my Liver.

And remember, as someone so eloquently said, &quot;It s better to be a good Liver, than to have one.&quot;

OK, I'm going to get picky now.

God forgive me, I'm not a limoncello lover -- would rather sit and drink a bottle of maple syrup if I wanted a sugar fix that bad. But what does Limoncello have to do with Tuscany? That's particular to the Amalfi Coast. I guess you can get it some places in Tuscany, but it sure isn't representative of that area.

Picky, but of course correct as always, Patrick. Since I first had limoncello in the US and then began to drink it in Italy (in Tuscany and Umbria), I forgot that it really comes from another region. Well, we'll always have Lucca, dear. Not to mention the Leaning Tower, the Loggia, and Lorenzetti's fabulous art.
