Il Colosso dell’Appennino (The Apennine Colossus)
If you are in Florence and looking for something that is off the beaten path you may want to travel about 12km (7.5 miles) north of the city and visit the Villa Demidoff, which contains remains of the Villa Medici di Pratolino. Together with other villas of the Medici family the Parco Pratolino was selected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the largest parks in Tuscany and is home to the Colosso dell’Appennino.

Mustard Greens–More Than Just a Pretty Valley Flower
For those who enjoyed eating them, the pungent mustard greens were a fresh source of vitamin A. Valley ranchers generously allowed residents on to their land to pick the cherished greens. After a spring rain, my family and I were among the many mustard green enthusiasts to beat a path to the muddy orchards to gather our share of the bitter greens.

Italian Songs for Mamma
Italian moms tend to have a tight bond with their sons. That’s why when many Italian men get married, their moms tend to be a bit sad. But good Italian boys never forget their mamma – and they are sure to reassure her on their wedding day. Often, Italians living abroad – especially in the United States, where it’s tradition for the groom to dance with his mother at the wedding – call on Italian songs to say what’s on their mind. Indeed, I’m not sure any other country in the world can count so many songs that praise mommy on their top 40 lists, but Italy sure can. Here are some of Italy’s most popular songs about le mamme.

I grew up living next door to my Grandmother. Although Grandma couldn’t read or write, she taught me so many things which were much more valuable. She was such a loving Grandma, with her warm smile and generous spirit.
