Survival Manual for Living with a Properly Educated Italian

My mother-in-law doesn’t give advice. She drafts constitutions. Sheets must be changed exactly the right number of times, pasta must be weighed, cold is a matter of opinion—and control is a lifestyle.
Then came socks. Bronchitis. And a cat.
A gentle collapse of perfect order, fur included.

There are worse views than enjoying a glass of wine while looking towards the distant city of #Siena enframed by two typical cypress trees before night completely supersedes the dying day.

For my wife and me, traveling to Tuscany was coming back after 18 years since our last visit. For her, was a return to the place here father (RIP, Babo! 😢) came from before migrating to Germany many decades ago.

Despite the heat, this area in Italy is probably one of the most iconic ones and close to the imagination of Ridley Scott portraying the Elysian Fields in "Gladiator" once. You simply cannot put the beauty of Tuscany and its surroundings into words so it's the best to stop here and let the image speak for itself!

"Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance."

(Charles Lindbergh)

Sometimes it's difficult to see whether a picture is a painting or if the landscape of Tuscany indeed smiles through this gate in Montalcino's city walls... 😱

"I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead."

(Mark Twain)

Nice to see how colorful postboxes can be in Italy - although they can't fight back of getting pasted up with stickers anyway! 😉

"Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it."

(Salvador Dali)

I don't like drinking and most of the time, I am far better off without alcohol. Occasionally, an IPA or a wine (depends on the situation) is okay but I prefer not to lose my self-control by drinking - this scenery was lovely anyway!

Le Notti d’Ambra is an unmissable weekly summer event, promoted and curated by the Pro Loco of Ambra. This is a very successful initiative, aimed at making known the richness and charm of the territory of #Valdambra, the historic valley that expands along the river #Ambra in Tuscany.

We had the chance to visit this event rather by coincidence and enjoyed every single moment while eating, drinking and living la dolce vita under the moonlight! 🌙

The flair of ancient Italien cities (here: ‎⁨Civitella in Val di Chiana⁩) is simply unbeaten. What a calmness, what a beauty!
