17 Comments
Mi avete fatto venire FAME ! Sono a dieta NOOOOOOO ! Adesso vado a mangiare anch'io . Siete simpaticissimi ! 👍😋😉
truffles are the best! you're so lucky to visit all those beautiful fairs
Have you had truffle? What did you think of the taste?
Oddio, il mio barista, quando vado a fare colazione di mattina presto, per prendermi in giro, scherza chiedendomi: cosa prendi un panino con la porchetta ??? Io ovviamente ci rido sopra, come anche chi lo ascolta perché in Italia la colazione è sempre dolce ed offrirmi la porchetta suona come una battuta umoristica. Voi siete dei grandi, l'avete mangiato davvero a colazione !!! Per di più col vino rosso !!! Il vantaggio di essere americani, che la colazione salata la fanno eccome.
Italians importing french wines? 😅
Tuscany has great wines,, doesn't need to import them from France.
Maryana you're the same as an italian Singer call Arisa!!😂😂
My prefer dish is a fried egg with a lot of white truffle upon prefer.
Wish I was there. I own the place for 15 years in.Castelnuovo berardenga, in the province of sienna. Our home was located in an old farmhouse on the Felsina wine estate. It is a beautiful location and a friend of mine Seamus., who used to be the chef at Costello Brolio brollio, runs a cooking school called Chianti kitchen. He lives there year-round and you can reach him online. Tell him his friend Ted recommended him. That looks like the best fruit festival I’ve never been to. Actually most of the places I have been to were wine centric. I enjoyed truffles and have had some in.barolo country. In Alba it cost $45 a plate of white truffle pasta. Alba is a great city for food and wine. If you go to sienna my favorite restaurant is la bagoga di Santa Catarina. It’s supposedly the most authentic restaurant. I will be in Tuscany as of 15 December until the 31st. Between the 20th and the 23rd I will be going to Verona and the Veneto. Enjoy.
Hey V&M, if you want to have the real deal with arrosticini go where they was invented which is Abruzzo

🇺🇸🇬🇧The historic center of San Miniato stands in a strategic position on a hill halfway between Florence and Pisa, so the city was the scene of multiple clashes between the two current capitals, until the final Florentine conquest.
The original nucleus of the city dates back to the 8th century: a group of Lombards, according to an original document dated 713 and preserved in the Archbishop's Archive in Lucca, settled on this hill and built a church dedicated to the martyr Miniato.
Frederick II of Swabia erected the fortress in the city and had his vicar for Tuscany reside there.
Because of this Germanic origin, the city, of Ghibelline tradition, was called San Miniato al Tedesco throughout the Middle Ages, a name that remained in use in the following centuries.
After signing the peace with Florence on December 31, 1370, San Miniato adopted the Florentine calendar to replace the Pisan one and changed its name to San Miniato al Fiorentino, and then simply San Miniato.
The young Napoleon visited San Miniato twice. The first time was to obtain the certificate of nobility of his family: the Buonaparte family of Ajaccio had distant origins in San Miniato; the certificate was necessary for Napoleon to be able to enter the French military academy.
He later returned during the Italian Campaign, visiting the last survivor of the Tuscan branch of the family, Canon Filippo Buonaparte.
A plaque affixed to the Buonaparte palace bears witness to the meeting that took place there.
The city remained in the Florentine orbit until 1925, when it was ceded to the Province of Pisa.
🇮🇹Il centro storico di San Miniato sorge in posizione strategica su un colle a metà strada tra Firenze e Pisa per cui la città è stata scena di molteplici scontri fra i due odierni capoluoghi, fino alla definitiva conquista fiorentina.
Il nucleo originario della città risale all'VIII secolo: un gruppo di longobardi, secondo un documento originale datato 713 e conservato nell'Archivio Arcivescovile a Lucca, si stabilì su questo colle ed edificò una chiesa dedicata al martire Miniato.
Federico II di Svevia eresse nella città la rocca e vi fece risiedere il suo vicario per la Toscana.
Per questa origine germanica la città, di tradizione ghibellina, fu chiamata per tutto il medioevo come San Miniato al Tedesco, nome che è rimasto in uso anche nei secoli successivi.
Dopo aver siglato la pace con Firenze il 31 dicembre 1370, San Miniato adottò il calendario fiorentino in sostituzione di quello pisano e mutò il nome in San Miniato al Fiorentino, e poi semplicemente San Miniato.
Il giovane Napoleone visitò San Miniato per ben due volte. La prima fu per avere l'attestato di nobiltà della propria famiglia: i Buonaparte di Aiaccio avevano infatti lontane origini samminiatesi; l'attestato era necessario a Napoleone per poter accedere all'accademia militare francese.
Successivamente vi fece ritorno durante la Campagna d'Italia, facendo visita all'ultimo superstite del ramo toscano della famiglia, il canonico Filippo Buonaparte.
Una lapide affissa sul palazzo Buonaparte testimonia l'incontro lì avvenuto.
La città rimase nell'orbita fiorentina fino al 1925, quando fu ceduta alla Provincia di Pisa.
Try indian big thali . ❤
like always amazing video
In Italy we think the best food for truffle is the eggs. But it's good to pasta, risotto, or fiorentina steak
arrosticini not lamb but sheep 🙂
🤣🤣😍😍You two make me laugh out loud!
Spritz cost 5€ everywhere in Italy. It has Spumante inside…. that's why it's a little pricy.
