Buon Appetito at Trattoria da Tito
I’m spending every evening this month researching restaurants for my guidebooks. Every night, I have a list of a dozen or so places to check, and my treat to myself — when I finish the list — is to enjoy my favorite of the bunch. Here in this candid, alcohol-fueled moment, a chef/owner illustrates how a personality-driven restaurant can be a real winner. Bobo loves his work, and as he told me, “When I stop to be happy, I would quit…that’s a promise.”
Here’s how I wrote Bobo’s place up in my Rick Steves Italy guidebook:
[$$$] Antica Trattoria da Tito, a 10-minute hike from the Accademia along Via San Gallo, is great for a memorable meal with a local crowd and smart-aleck service. The boss, Bobo, serves (theatrically) quality traditional food and lots of wine. While the food is good, there’s no pretense — it’s a noisy playground of Tuscan cuisine. To gorge on a feast of antipasti (cold cuts, cheeses, a few veggies, and bruschetta), consider ordering fermami (literally “stop me”) — for €18, Bobo brings you food until you say, “Fermami!” A couple can get fermami for two, desserts, and a nice bottle of wine for around €60 total. Dinner is served in two seatings: 19:30 (more sanity) and 21:30 (less sanity). Reservations are smart (€18 gran tagliere — big plate of cheese and meat, show this book for a free after-dinner drink, Mon-Sat 12:30-15:00 & 19:00-23:00, closed Sun, Via San Gallo 112 red, tel. 055-472-475, trattoriadatito.it).

Places to see in ( Potenza - Italy )
Potenza is a city and comune in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata. Capital of the Province of Potenza and the Basilicata region, the city is the highest regional capital and one of the highest provincial capitals in Italy, overlooking the valley of the Basento river in the Apennine Mountains of Lucania, east of Salerno. Its territory is bounded by the comuni of Anzi, Avigliano, Brindisi Montagna, Picerno, Pietragalla, Pignola, Ruoti, Tito and Vaglio Basilicata.
The first settlement of Potentia (Potenza's original Latin name) was probably located at a lower elevation than at present, some 10 kilometres (6 miles) south of today's Potenza. The Lucani of Potentia sided against Rome's enemies during the latter's wars against the Samnites and the Bruttii. In the following years of Late Middle Ages, the city was owned by various feudal families before the Spanish domination, during which Potenza was the site of riots against the Spaniards. In 1694, it was almost completely destroyed by another earthquake.
Alot to see in Potenza such as :
Potenza Cathedral: The Duomo di San Gerardo, renovated in the 18th century. The cathedral still houses the rose window and the apse from the original 12th-century structure.
San Francesco: church founded in 1274. The portal and the bell tower date from the 15th century. The church houses the De Grasis sepulchre and a Madonna in Byzantine style (13th century).
The Torre Guevara, the last remnant of the old castle. It is now used to stage art exhibitions.
The Palazzo Loffredo, a 17th-century noble residence. It is now the seat of the Dinu Adameșteanu National Archaeological Museum.
Three gates of the old city walls, now demolished. The gates are the Porta San Giovanni, the Porta San Luca and the Porta San Gerardo.
San Michele: 11th-12th century Romanesque-style church.
Santa Maria del Sepolcro: church.
The ruins of a Roman villa in the Poggio Tre Galli quarter.
Musmeci Bridge, a unique construction, monument of modern civil engineering.
Potenza is a rail junction on the main line from Salerno to Taranto, managed by FS Trenitalia. It has also a connection to Altamura, served by the Ferrovie Appulo Lucane regional company. The city's main station, which was originally named Potenza Inferiore, is now known as Potenza Centrale.
The Province of Potenza, one of the two provinces of the Basilicata Region, comprises 100 municipalities, among which the city of Potenza, Italy's highest-altitude Regional Capital (2,687 ft). Just a few miles of the Province actually touch the Tyrrhenian Sea, while the rest of it is bordered by the Region of Campania on the west (Provinces of Salerno and Avellino), Apulia in the north (Provinces of Foggia, Barletta-Andria-Trani and Bari), the Province of Matera in the east, and Calabria in the south (Province of Cosenza).

ROAD TRIP IN ITALY! (Rome to Amalfi Coast)
Went on a roadtrip from Rome to Amalfi Coast, Italy few weeks ago with my friends and I did not expect the roads to be as crazy! Took a train from Rome to Naples and rented out two SUV's for 500 Euros each for 6 days so that we can drive around Amalfi coast and you'll find out how to get to areas like Pompeii, Ravello, Sorrento and Positano. Traveling around Italy can be expensive but I highly suggest for you to buy your food in grocery stores to save a lot of money. I really travel on a budget but there are times that I really have no choice but to spend on transportation, accommodation and food. I also got a lot of questions on how to drive in Europe; all you need is your driver's license and passport at all times when driving and you're only allowed to drive for 3 months. If you wish to drive for 1 year in Europe, you can apply for an International drivers license in your country before leaving.

Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy ) Casa di Giorgio Vasari
Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy ) Casa di Giorgio Vasari
La Casa Vasari is a palace Arezzo located in Via XX Settembre 55. It was the family residence of the painter, architect and art historian Giorgio Vasari and preserves valuable frescoed rooms. The artist bought this house around 1540 and, busy between Florence, Rome and his travels, he lived there for short periods, but intervening directly in both the works of completion and decoration, including the scattered nucleus of furniture. He had also designed a façade, which was never built.
An example of the best preserved in the region of an artist's house and mansion of Mannerist style, it was the property of Vasari's heirs until their extinction, in 1687 , when it passed to the Fraternity of the Laity. Sold to a private family, the Brozzi family, in 1897, passed to the Paglizzi family and finally it was bought by the State in 1911 , which made it a museum open to the public. It is also home to the Vasari Archive.
You reach the main floor through a staircase surmounted by the bust of Giorgio Vasari of an unknown five-seventeenth-century Tuscan. The first room you meet is that of the Camino, frescoed by Vasari in 1548 with the Envy of Envy and Fortune by Virtue in the ceiling and on the walls allegorical figures, landscapes and stories of the painters of antiquity. On the right is the chapel, with a Madonna di Fra Paolino and a rare original 16th century majolica floor.
The corridor of Ceres, or of the Dragons, shows some paintings of late Mannerism, including a Circumcision attributed to Mirabello Cavalori and the Death of Adonis by Jacopo Zucchi . On the left is the Bridal Chamber with a ceiling decorated by a fresco by Vasari di Abraham among the allegorical figures of Peace , Concordia , Virtue and Modesty . Among the paintings, the Alms of Saint Nicholas of Giovanni Stradano , the Christ brought to the tomb of the young Vasari and, of the same, a Judas. The corridor leads to the former kitchen, frescoed by Raimondo Zaballi in 1827 and decorated with portraits of the 16th century, especially from Tuscany. The House of Apollo was frescoed by the landlord with Apollo and the nine Muses and the Allegory of conjugal love , where is the portrait of his wife, Nicolosa Bacci. Among the paintings shown here are the St. Francis of Alessandro Allori , the mirror container with Prudence , attributed to the same, the Casa del Sole del Poppi , the San Girolamo and the Fortuna by Jacopo Ligozzi .
In the Chamber of Fame Vasari painted the Fama on the ceiling and on the pediments and the lunettes (very repainted) the four Arts , his self-portrait and portraits of the Arezzo artists or the territory of Arezzo: Lazzaro Vasari , Luca Signorelli , Spinello Aretino , Bartolomeo della Gatta , Michelangelo and Andrea del Sarto . The Crucifixion is by Giovanni Stradano (1581), the glazed polychrome terracotta with Galba by Andrea Sansovino , the table of Charity by Carlo Portelli. A small adjoining room contains the wooden model of the Loggia del Vasari , built in Arezzo, the Madonna with the Child, Sant'Elisabetta and San Giovannino of Santi di Tito and three sections of the predella by Maso da San Friano .
