His humble roots remind me so mich of my mom's beginnings in Emilia Romagna. Everyone is always so generous and loving! But you can keep the pig blood torta. I'll pass on that one.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-20887721446739636412018-01-25T01:36:34.384-05:002018-01-25T01:36:34.384-05:00Fabulous shots!

Makes a vacation really special when you can also see family that you haven't seen in a long time! Pig's blood in a dessert? Wow! I don't know that I'd be adventurous enough to try that either! If I didn't know that's what was in it, I probably would, ha! As it sure looked good! Always enjoy your collage pictures, and the sharing of history as well. It is like taking the vacation with you. Looking forward to more of your series! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-81447166429267829782018-01-21T08:53:48.800-05:002018-01-21T08:53:48.800-05:00What a wonderful time you must have had being in y...What a wonderful time you must have had being in your husband's home town! It's wonderful to see him surrounded by relatives. Italians do seem to have such wonderful family connections and happy family get together. Hte buildings themselves remind me that Italians value history and the previous generations of their family. Looking forward to your next post Pat! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

It was such a pleasure to trip with you and see everyday-life and the not so touristy parts of the country too. Btw, beautiful pictures of those narrow lanes between the buildings. And the buildings are such beauties too. <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend.
