🇮🇹 I’ve never experienced a sense of community like I do living in Florence, Italy.

There’s one thing I know for sure, there’s never a dull moment with Riccardo at - hope you enjoy this blooper reel 🙈😂🤌🏼

Every morning, my wife and I have coffee at our local bar. Over time, we’ve developed a relationship with Riccardo, his wife Elia and sons. They’ve become our unofficial “Italian teachers”, well, Riccardo teaches us mostly Tuscan dialect, hand gestures and some bad words 😂

Hope you enjoy this video, maybe Rob and Riccardo need a series 😂

🇮🇹 “Italian Bread” isn’t a thing because in Italy, not all bread is equal!

👉🏼 Did you know that one of Italy’s most famous breads comes from the small town of Altamura in Puglia?

Pane di Altamura is so special that in 2003 it became the first bread in Europe to receive DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status.

Made with locally grown durum wheat semolina, natural sourdough starter, water and salt, this traditional Puglian bread is known for its thick, crunchy crust, golden yellow interior and incredible flavor. Unlike most bread, Pane di Altamura can stay fresh for several days.

And if you’re visiting Altamura, there’s one historic bakery you shouldn’t miss!

Antico Forno Santa Caterina, dating back to 1306, is one of the town’s oldest bakeries. Tucked into Altamura’s historic center, its centuries-old wood-fired oven is still used to bake bread today.

For generations, communal ovens like this were an important part of daily life in Puglia, where families brought their homemade dough to be baked.

Today, you can visit , see the enormous historic oven, taste traditional Pane di Altamura and try other local specialties like focaccia and taralli.

It’s one of our favorite examples of why we love exploring the smaller towns of Southern Italy. So much history, tradition and incredible food!

📍 Antico Forno Santa Caterina, Altamura, Puglia

🇮🇹 Attenzione Parents of Study Students in Abroad Florence Italy!

Florence Italy is a huge destination for study abroad. And we can definitely see why. The art, the history, the culture, the food… it’s amazing.

We’ve talked with many study abroad students, and have even become surrogate parents to some of them while they were in Florence.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for them to expand themselves, try new things and create magical memories.

but if they don’t get out of the study abroad bubble, it’ll never happen.

If my child were studying abroad in Florence, this semester here are the five things I would want someone to talk to them about.

Today is my 60th Birthday. 🎂
Living in Italy for the past 5 years was more impactful than just changing zip codes. It’s changed how I think about life.

So I thought I’d share a few lessons I’ve learned from the Italians, that I think are important and taking into my sixties.

🐠 🇬🇷 No bones left behind Surgeon George

One of our favorite parts of staying in the Greek islands is the freshly caught whole fish. But removing the bones is definitely a skill!
