A few words about the country La Dolce Vita, that's the life for us. Italians live in some of the world's most beautiful real estate, and the mountains are no exception. After all, the southern rim of the Alps is Northern Italy's back yard. They just don't talk much about it, for fear of being overrun (again) by foreigners who would never leave. At least that's our theory.
In a world of fast food you may be pleased to hear that Italy is the international headquarters of the Slow Food movement, an organisation dedicated to eating and drinking in as relaxed a fashion as possible.
