Places to see in ( Frascati - Italy )
Frascati, in Lazio at a short distance from Rome, is a popular daytrip destination from the capital. Frascati is one of several attractive historic hilltowns to the south-east of Rome known collectively as the Castelli Romani. Every weekend these towns, and Frascati in particular, fill up with Romans looking for a change of pace, clean air, good food and wine. Often groups of Romans will drive here just for the evening, dining at one of the many informal restaurants which serve rich regional specialities and the local white wine.
The air is noticeably fresher than in the city, and in the sweltering summer months it has always been a popular resort. The wealthy built villas here, many of which are still standing although they're not open to the public. The most impressive is the Villa Aldobrandini, designed by Giacomo Della Porta for the nephew of a pope. This palace dominates the town, hovering above the central piazza in faded splendour. The gardens are open to the public and are free to visit - you just need to collect a permit from the tourist office first. On a weekday the grounds may be completely empty, and you can explore the terraces in solitary state. A gigantic water feature (no longer functioning), sculptures and architectural follies dominate the gardens behind the Villa, and you can climb up beside the crumbling cascade and imagine the estate in its glittering heyday.
The Villa Torlonia, nearby, was destroyed in the war. Nowadays it is a public park, where office workers jog in their lunch hour. You can still admire the gardens, and an impressive fountain, the Teatro delle acque (water theatre), designed by Carlo Maderno. The cathedral is worth a look, as are some of Frascati's other churches. There's no tourist circuit of important sights in Frascati. The chief appeal of an excursion is the relaxing ambience, fine feasting, and wandering around the evocative medieval streets and the faded grandeur of the aristocratic past.
Frascati is 13 miles (21km) from Rome, and is easily reachable by public transport. COTRAL buses run frequently from Anagnina metro station (remember to buy your tickets in advance from the kiosk at Anagnina, and to validate them when you get on the bus). For more information about COTRAl buses, see the Lazio transport page. There is also a local train service from Rome, which leaves from Stazione Termini.
The Frascati tourist information office is situated on the main square, Piazza Marconi. This is where the buses from (and to) Rome stop. There is also a panoramic terrace and a gelateria close at hand, so it's a good place to sit down and get your bearings when you arrive. Both the tourist office and the gardens of Villa Aldobrandini are closed for a couple of hours at lunchtime.

The Castelli Romani ( Castles of Rome) is a group of communes in the province of Rome, Italy. They are located at short distance south-east to Rome, at the feet of the Alban Hills.
The area of the Castelli occupies an ancient, fertile volcanic area which has allowed since ancient times a flourishing agriculture. The former crater is occupied by two lakes, the Lake of Nemi and that of Albano.
Starting from the Romans, it was an area frequented by the noblemen of Rome for its fresher climate during summer: the tradition was followed by the Popes which still have their summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, on the Lake Albano. Families which ruled in the castle include Orsini, Colonna, Chigi, Aldobrandini and Ruspoli.
The Castelli Romani are:
Albano Laziale
Ariccia

Michelin Restaurant in Venice, Italy | Trying Pumpkin Dishes! Travel Video Transcript:
It is another very snowy day here in Venice. Today we're going to go for lunch. This place is the only like two minute walk from our house. It specializes in pumpkin & is called Osteria La Zucca. Zucca means pumpkin and most of the dishes are made with pumpkin. It is vegetarian friendly.
We are all settled in the restaurant and we've ordered three different pumpkin dishes to share between Sam and I. So the first one we got is the Saor Di Zucca Radicchio Rosso so that is this one right here that I'm going to be trying. I think it is the vegetarian equivalent of what I had at the other restaurant with the sardines because it has the same name. I can see that it has caramelized onions and the pine nuts but instead of the fish it is pumpkin. It looks kind of like a pumpkin paste.
Appetizer number two. We got the fran de zucca con burro al la salsa ricotta stagionata.
This has pumpkin and butter and some ricotta. When we were first reading this flan to me is a dessert. At least in Spanish it is but apparently this is savory and it has nutmeg they said. Yep. And also a few different spices. It looks really good. It is also dressed with cheese and these it looks like sunflower seeds. And guess who is having that as well? George. You've been trying it. So how is it?
It is delicious. It is so creamy and great pumpkin flavor.
This is really good though. Out of the two this one is my favorite so far.
That is delicious. But it is not sweet though is it? No. It has got a savory creamy texture and I love how there is the has been some cheese sprinkled on top. Also some pumpkin seeds. It is just really really good.
It is also a bit thicker than what I thought when I first looked at it. It has pumpkin seeds.
This one is the Tortino de Pate Zucca Caciotta Di Rocca Pontina.
So never heard of tortino before it kind of looks like a potato. It reminds me of the Spanish tortilla. It is kind of like that with pumpkin.
So let's just dig in. Dig right in and see what this is all about. Nice consistency.
This looks good get a little bit of that pesto right there.
it is dessert time. So we've ordered a piece of chocolate cake. Woah. It looks beautiful. It is nice and thick. Nice big slab of it. I like that there is a little dusting of icing sugar on top and also we have some chocolate sprinkled. And it is beautifully plated too as you'll notice you see berries and you'll see some cream. It looks very festive like Christmas. It does look very festive. This would be a great Holiday Christmas cake for instance. Oh and you can tell that there is nuts in here.
That is really tasty.
Actually this reminds me a lot of a warm brownie. That is how I would describe it with a lot of nuts and chocolate.
In terms of price point it came to 41 Euros. That included the 3 pumpkin dishes, the dessert and we also ended up paying for the water for everyone. The wine that I drank my Dad bought for me and that was 5 Euros and we split it. So basically an extra 2.50 if you wanted to do the math. Yeah. And right now we're just outside of the restaurant. Look it is right on the canal. Yeah. Tada. So in terms of the food yeah the quality was really good.

Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
Places to see in ( Bergamo - Italy ) Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is a major church in the upper town of Bergamo, Northern Italy. The church was founded in 1137 on the site of another church from the 8th century dedicated to St Mary, which had been in turn erected over a Roman temple of the Clemence. The high altar was consecrated in 1185 and in 1187 the presbytery and the transept wings were completed. Due to financial troubles, the works dragged for the whole 13th–14th centuries.
The bell tower was built from 1436 (being completed around the end of the century), while in 1481–1491 a new sacristy added after the old one had been destroyed by Bartolomeo Colleoni to erect his personal mausoleum, the Colleoni Chapel. In 1521, Pietro Isabello finished the south-western portal, also known as Porta della Fontana. The edifice was restored and modified in the 17th century.
The church opens on the square (Piazza Duomo) on its own left side, as the main façade has no entrance, being once united to the Bishops' Palace. The external appearance has largely maintained its Lombard Romanesque origins. The church can be accessed by two entrances by Giovanni da Campione (1353) and by Isabello's Porta della Fontana.
The main apse is crowned by a loggia surmounted by two frieze with geometrical and vegetables patterns, and has blind arcades with semi-columns. The latter's capitals have also vegetable themes, with the exception of one, decorated by Angels with Last Judgement's Trumpets. The transept's apses have a structure similar to the main one.
Notable is Giovanni da Campione's porch in the left transept, which is supported by columns departing from lions in Veronese marble. the arch has a frieze with hunting scenes, while the vault is decorated by polychrome lozenges. A loggia houses statues of St Barbara, St Vincent and St Alexander. At the peak is a Gothic niche by Hans von Fernach (1403), with the Madonna with Child flanked by St Esther and St Grata (1398). also by Giovanni da Campione is the porch of the right transept, with a similar though simpler structure. The columns are supported by lions in white marble. It has reliefs with Christ Crowned by Saints and Birth of the Baptist.
Isabello's Renaissance porch has, in the lunette, a fresco of Mary's Nativity attributed to Andrea Previtali.
The interior has maintained the original Romanesque Greek cross plan, with a nave and two aisles divided by piers and ending with an apse, but the decoration its largely from the 17th century Baroque renovation. On the walls are tapestries, partly executed in Florence (1583–1586) under Alessandro Allori's design, partly of Flemish manufacture, depicting the Life of Mary. Over the tapestry of the Crucifixion (executed in Antwerp on Ludwig van Schoor's cartoons, 1698) is a painting by Luca Giordano, with the Passage of the Red Sea (1691).
Left to the entrance is the sepulchre of Cardinal Guglielmo Longhi, work by Ugo da Campione (1913–1320). On the rear wall are the tomb of the composer Gaetano Donizetti, by Vincenzo Vela (1855) and that of the latter's master Simone Mayr (1852). At the beginning of the left aisle is the Baroque confessional carved by Andrea Fantoni in 1704. A crucifix from the 14th century is on the presbytery's balaustrade.
In the presbytery itself, housing six bronze candelabra from 1597, is a wooden choir designed by Bernardo Zenale and Andrea Previtali. The reliefs with Biblical tales were executed in 1524–1555 on designs by Lorenzo Lotto. They are characterized by a polychrome effect rendered through the use of different wood types. The right transepts has Giottesque frescoes from an unknown artist, with Histories of St Aegidius, The Last Supper and the Tree of Life (1347), partially covered by a 17th-century fresco.
