Tuscany, Italy
The Steinway at Palazzo Ravizza, Siena, Italy — July 16, 2017
I played this beauty for 20 minutes this morning before heading out on my Tusdany adventure for the day. It has a beautiful tone.
The best porchetta, Pienza, Tuscany, Italy — July 16, 2017
Yes, this looks murderous and perhaps gross, but this was by far the best porchetta I have ever had in my entire life; nothing has ever even come close since. Call it a blessing and a curse! I was even hesitant to buy a sliver, wondering how long ago it had been made or if it would get me sick. But I went for it and was in disbelief. Moments later, after tourists saw my delight, I queue formed and everyone began buying this. Next time you are in Pienza, keep an eye out for this little shop, smack dag on the main drag; you can’t really miss it, and if they have the porchetta, go for it. Also good was their Pecorino cheese. I also bought a hunk of it.
