Hi,

Italian wine, Italian food, Italian scenery, and 'la dolce far niente'.

ira, babelfish translates "la dolce far niente" as "the cake to make nothing".

Italy gives me fabulous 2-hour long lunches/dinners (or longer) with a sip of grappa afterwards.

In fact, it's "il dolce far niente", dolce being sweet, not cake. So, " the sweet doing nothing".

To me, food, wine, Italians, art, design, and the lovely language.

Not necessarily in that order.
