BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA 1000 YEARS OF HERITAGE The Original Balsamic Vinegar of Modena has a history as rich as its flavors, as was officially acknowledged in 2009 from the European Union through its recognition as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This is a history that began over a millennium ago.

To this day, Original Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (Aceto Balsamico di Modena) is produced exclusively in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, from grape must that is cooked or concentrated and combined with wine vinegar.

The practice of cooking grape musts can be traced back to the ancient Romans. The so-called sapum was used both as a medicinal product and in the kitchen as a sweetener and condiment. As far back as the 11th century, the production of this very particular vinegar was linked with Modena: over time it would become synonymous with the culture and history of a territory known for its unique pedoclimatic characteristics, as well as human knowledge and talent.

The PGI certification guarantees that the original, certified Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is made from grape must from seven specific Italian vines: Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Albana, Ancellotta, Fortana, and Montuni. The product is matured for a minimum of 60 days, counted from the moment in which the grape must, wine vinegar, and 10-year-aged wine vinegar are mixed, following the recipes carefully kept and handed down by the producers, sent to processing and transferred into wooden casks and barrels. The product that rests in barrels for at least three years is labelled as "aged".

The project "Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, the Original", focused on the US market and financed by the European Union, promotes the added value of the product, in terms of authenticity, safety, traceability, and labelling guaranteed by the European trademark protection and wants to enhance the competitiveness of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena in the United States.

Cameratta Companies, Lennar, and Pulte Homes announce that model homes are now under construction at the new master planned community of Verdana Village in Estero, FL. The community is planned for 2,400 single-family homes and will include a Sports Complex unlike anything seen before in Southwest Florida.

Outdoor amenities will include a resort style pool, oversized heated spa, expansive pool deck, tennis courts, a practice tennis court with ball machine, pickleball courts, racquet sports pro-shop, bocce courts, a playground, and a dog park.

The community is planned for 2,400 single-family homes on a variety of premium homesites with lake and preserve views. The homes are being built by nationally recognized homebuilders Lennar and Pulte Homes, a national brand of PulteGroup, Inc. Homes will be priced from the low $300,000s. All homesites will include approximately 40-foot front yard setbacks from the street, which creates enhanced visual appeal. They will also offer spacious backyards and strolling sidewalks.

"Verdana Village has been carefully curated to inspire a vibrant lifestyle while creating areas for connection, camaraderies and gatherings," said Richard McCormick, president of PulteGroup's Southwest Florida Division. "Our homes have also been carefully curated and thoughtfully designed to best meet a family's needs making life better, happier, and easier. Simply put, we've built in all the ways to get more out of life with features that offer something for everyone."

In addition to the Sports Complex, residents will be able to enjoy a delicious meal and drinks at the restaurant, private party room, outdoor pool bar and the signature "The Craft Lounge".

Outdoor amenities will include a resort style pool, oversized heated spa, expansive pool deck, tennis courts, a practice tennis court with ball machine, pickleball courts, racquet sports pro-shop, bocce courts, a playground, and a dog park. The community will be divided into the West Village and the East Village. Additional amenities for the West Village will include a clubhouse with fitness center, gathering room, catering kitchen, pool, spa, pavilion, and horseshoes. The East Village amenities are to be announced in a future phase. The development will include approximately 1,200 acres of natural preserve with 31 lakes and offer natural gas for residents.

Verdana Village is the fourth residential community developed by Cameratta on Corkscrew Road in Estero. The Place at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores and The Preserve at Corkscrew have all received tremendous interest from homebuyers.

"The Corkscrew corridor has been a popular area and we're excited to continue our growth in the new and upcoming community Verdana Village," said David Meyers, Southwest Florida Division Manager for Lennar. "Having the ability to work with Cameratta Companies and the 5-Star amenities that they deliver combined with Lennar's Everything's Included® homes will make this the premier community to live in Southwest Florida."

Offering a sought-after location off Corkscrew Road in Estero, south of Fort Myers and north of Naples, Verdana Village is minutes from top-rated schools, Southwest Florida International Airport, world-class shopping, dining, golf, and the beautiful Gulf beaches.

ferrari 2021 Team Launched Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow presented the 2021 team in an on-line event which involved not only team partners and the media but also over 300 fans linked up from all over the world to see Charles Leclerc’s and Carlos Sainz’s first official appearance of the year in Scuderia colours.From Maranello to the world. The event began with a short film presenting this season’s driver pairing, as they chatted away. There was obvious chemistry between them, as had already been seen after the Fiorano test a few weeks back, when they drove a 2018 F1 car. After the film, Charles, Carlos and Team Principal Mattia Binotto were seen in a studio setting in the Ferrari Museum in Maranello.A year for redemption. Binotto was the first to speak, explaining that “2021 will be a particularly challenging year. After a difficult season last year, we know that we have to come good in this championship and it will be important to demonstrate our will to win, even though we know this will be a transition year, partly because the regulations do not allow us to substantially change the car and we will simply bring an evolution to the track. We have identified what were the problems with the SF1000 and we have improved the car in all the areas allowed by the regulations. We have a new engine, revised aerodynamics and a modified rear end. We want to do well and can’t wait to take to the track and go up against our competition, to check how good a job we have done.”Every detail counts. Mattia Binotto also tackled the topic of the reorganisation of the technical department, which was recently updated. “We are aware that in seasons like the one that lies ahead, the slightest detail can make a difference and so we have worked on every front,” he said.

“The changes made in the technical department also have this in mind, because we believe that defining the roles and responsibilities in the best way possible means everyone in the team can give their best. That will be even more important this year when we also have to work on the 2022 car, which required a clean sheet of paper in terms of its design, since there will be radical changes to the regulations.”Drivers. The Team Principal also spoke about the new driver pairing. “They are young and similar in certain respects and I think they are very strong,” he stated. “I know they can’t wait to go head to head on track, but I know they are both aware that, first and foremost comes Ferrari and its interests and so there is no hierarchy. If we were to be clever enough to become the dominant force in Formula 1, then maybe we can start to make certain assessments. But for the moment, there is no room for this sort of discussion. First we need to catch up with our competitors.”Tifosi. While the majority of questions from the media were aimed at Binotto, when it was the turn of the fans to link up to the studio discussion, Charles and Carlos were centre stage. Naturally, enough, the Monegasque confirmed he is impatient to go racing, while also saying that despite everything he was proud of how he had performed in 2020. “Having gone through a difficult season like the last one, it has made me more patient and above all, has made me understand how much small details can make a difference,” he affirmed. “I improved my tyre management and worked on the quality of feedback I gave to the engineers and that will also prove useful this season.”Honour and responsibility. Carlos Sainz was the newcomer today. “I am now counting the hours until I drive the SF21 for the first time,” said the Spaniard. “Being part of the team with the most history and most wins in Formula 1 is a great source of pride for me but it also brings with it a responsibility. I have already spent two months in Maranello, I have got to know the team, their faces and their names. During this time, I realised how important Ferrari is and how being a driver for this team also means being a global ambassador for Italy. I am really looking forward to entertaining our fans.”

Ferrari - From Pininfarina to Flavio Manzoni

La lunga storia vincente di Ferrari ai BBC TopGear Magazine Awards prosegue anche nel 2020 con due riconoscimenti, ottenuti rispettivamente dalla 812 GTS nella categoria Noise of the Year (“Sound dell’anno”) e dalla SF90 Stradale nella categoria Eco-Warrior of the Year, (“Campione ecologico dell’anno”). Grazie a questi due premi Ferrari raggiunge il traguardo di 18 BBC TopGear Magazine Awards vinti negli ultimi 17 anni. Di particolare interesse la motivazione che ha spinto la giuria ad assegnare i premi alle due vetture del Cavallino Rampante:Sound dell’anno: 812 GTSLa 812 GTS è una decappottabile davvero fuori di testa. Certo, a qualsiasi auto basterebbe quel minaccioso, bestiale, ruggente V12 da 9.000 giri/min. che pungola l’ego del pilota e ne frantuma i sensi per essere degna di nota. Tuttavia, solo una vettura come questa, che abbina al propulsore uno sterzo estremamente reattivo, una dinamica di guida da vera divoratrice della strada e delle curve (risultato assurdo per una belva di queste dimensioni) e un cambio che riesce straordinariamente a inviare scariche di dopamina giù per la schiena del guidatore al semplice tocco delle palette, è in grado di offrire un’esperienza di guida a cui si può credere solo dopo essere saliti a bordo.Campione ecologico dell’anno: SF90 StradaleSe la LaFerrari è stato il primo cauto tentativo di Maranello sulla strada dell’ibrido, la SF90 Stradale ha portato la sfida a un livello superiore per il Cavallino Rampante. Nel 2020 sono successe davvero un’infinità di cose, ma un’ammiraglia Ferrari nuova di zecca che ti permette di percorrere il tragitto casa-lavoro in modalità full-electric riservando comunque al proprietario una sorpresa esplosiva per i suoi fine settimana fa pendere la bilancia degli appassionati di auto dal lato dell’annus mirabilis.

La 812 GTS e la SF90 Stradale non sono auto in edizione limitata, bensì nuove aggiunte alla gamma del Cavallino Rampante: mentre la prima segna il ritorno nella line-up di una spider V12 dai tempi della 365 GTS4, la seconda ha creato un segmento totalmente nuovo per il marchio, portando una supercar ibrida da 1000cv al top di gamma Ferrari per la prima volta. Entrambe le vetture sono coperte dal programma Ferrari Genuine Maintenance, che comprende la manutenzione ordinaria della vettura per i primi 7 anni dall’acquisto.

Actor, writer, producer, and restaurateur Chazz Palminteri and the Sinanaj brothers open their second Italian Restaurant in a suburb just north of NYC Chazz Palminteri is best known for memorable roles in "A Bronx Tale", "Bullets over Broadway", "The Usual Suspects." Not only has he conquered the Big Apple through entertainment, he has also done so in terms of the dining scene.

At his namesake restaurant, located at 30 W 46th Street, Palminteri pays homage to his Sicilian heritage, with classic dishes and a Frank Sinatra-inspired martini menu. Sinatra was who made the actor infatuated with old restaurants of the past. "He would tell me about the great New York City restaurants he would go to, such as Toots Shor and Jilly's.

He always said you need a great place to go and eat when your friends are in town." – says Palminteri.

So, in 2015 Palminteri teamed up with the Sinanaj brothers to open Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. The Sinanaj brothers are well-known restaurateurs with several high-end restaurants in NYC and in Tokyo.

Today, the restaurant serves traditional Italian fare from fresh meats and seafood to homemade pasta dishes and delicious desserts.

The food is what the actor says distinguishes Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant from other spots and places them in the conversation of best Italian food in New York. "People might visit once because of my name, but they come back for the delicious food" – he says.

The same menu will be served at the new restaurant in White Plains Westchester. Homemade pastas, grilled octopus and lobster served over fettucine are a few dishes awaiting diners.

According to business partner Jack Sinanaj they have also taken advantage of the previous tenant's wood-fired pizza ovens, adding a new item to the actor-turned-restaurateur's repertoire. Their truffle pizza is what they hold closer to heart. Made with truffle, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella and mixed herbs, its unique taste has quickly become popular with diners since the restaurant first opened a week ago. Also, don't miss out on their traditional Margarita Pizza and other special menu items.

The new Restaurant is located at 264 Main St White Plains, New York, NY 10601 and is open 7 days a week.

Reservations can be made on their website www.chazzpalminterinyc.com or by calling 914-600-8430.

Santa Margherita USA

Unveils Rosé Just In Time For Summer Santa Margherita, the beloved Italian wine brand that pioneered the first white Pinot Grigio and helped put Prosecco on the map, is thrilled to unveil the launch of its newest innovation, Santa Margherita Rosé, this summer.

Santa Margherita Rosé is lively and vibrant with fresh acidity and balance. Its pale pink hue was inspired by the beautiful shades of pink reflecting off the Venetian Lagoon during a perfect summer sunset. Its light floral taste, derived from a meticulous vinification process, makes it the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal, pairing well with salads, appetizers, grilled meats, and a selection of cheeses. Crafted with grapes from some of the most revered vineyards in the heart of the historic and prolific Tre Venezie region, this new wine is sure to delight new and devoted Santa Margherita fans alike.

"Santa Margherita has been sharing extraordinary wines that represent an authentic taste of Italy for over eight decades, and we're proud to announce a new release worthy of our esteemed portfolio," said Santa Margherita USA President & CEO Vincent Chiaramonte.

"This rosé embodies the brand's roots in the northeastern region and continues the legacy of our founder, Count Gaetano Marzotto, a pioneer and entrepreneur, who was committed to bringing the best local flavor to each bottle. We are excited to introduce consumers to Santa Margherita Rosé."

Since its founding in 1935, Santa Margherita has been a leader in wine innovation. The brand popularized Prosecco with its release of Prosecco Superiore in 1952, during a time when only locals knew of the now world-famous Italian bubbly. In the 1960s, the Marzotto family was the first to blaze the trail for white Pinot Grigio, which is created utilizing a unique fermentation process that removes the grape skin. At its launch, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio took the USA by storm and remains the luxury leader in Pinot Grigio to this day.

Santa Margherita Rosé will join the brand's highly regarded portfolio of wines including both Prosecco Superiore Di Valdobbiadene DOCG and Pinot Grigio, as well as its Sparkling Rosé, Rive di Refrontolo, and Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG. The Rosé will launch in select retailers in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois, Texas, and California for $24.99 per bottle.

10 COMMANDMENTS OF ITALIAN CUISINE 1 - YOU SHALL NOT SIP CAPPUCCINO DURING A MEAL! Coffee and cappuccino are the pride of Italy in the world; but if the first is usually consumed at the end of the meal, the second, more substantial, is sipped at breakfast, usually accompanied by some pastry. You can ask for a cappuccino at the end of a meal, just know that most Italians don’t.

2 - RISOTTO AND PASTA ARE NOT A SIDE DISH The organization of courses in the Italian dining is unique and requires pasta and – most of the time – risotto to be served by themselves (apart from specific recipes such as Ossobuco milanese-style). The presentation of pasta as a side dish to others is widespread in several countries, but in Italy is seen almost as a sacrilege.

3 - YOU SHALL NOT ADD OIL TO PASTA WATER! Oil should not be added to pasta cooking water! Pasta dressing (and oil too) must be added only after you have drained it from its cooking water. Find out how to cook pasta like an Italian here.

4 - KETCHUP ON PASTA: PLEASE, DON’T This is one of the combinations that most shocks Italians; although ketchup may have some similarities to tomato sauce, pouring ketchup over pasta in the “Bel Paese” is considered a real gourmet crime. Keep ketchup for your french fries or hot dogs, please!

5 - SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE? NO WAY, IT’S TAGLIATELLE! While probably being the world’s most popular Italian recipe, you will not find any restaurant in Bologna to eat it. That’s because the original Italian recipe is “Tagliatelle Bolognese” (not spaghetti). Although this may seem a minor detail, in real Italian cuisine the pairing of the right kind of pasta with the right sauce is considered almost sacred.

6 - CHICKEN PASTA: NOT IN ITALY Speaking with American friends, one of the most frequent requests is the advice for a typical Italian recipe for pasta with chicken.

It’s always rather embarrassing to point out that in Italy there are no hot dishes featuring pasta and chicken.

7 - “CAESAR SALAD” This salad, which bears the name of its supposed creator, Caesar Cardini, is a part of the long list of recipes devised by chefs of Italian origin, but in fact is almost unknown in Italy.

8 - THE RED AND WHITE CHECKERED TABLECLOTH IS ONLY A STEREOTYPE! For some strange reason, these tablecloths are universally associated with our food and with the stereotype of the "spaghetti-eater", and abroad almost all the restaurants that want to play typical Italian use them. Probably, tourists who come to visit Italy remain somewhat disappointed when they discover that the checkered tablecloths are almost never used (only restaurants for tourists do!)

9 - “FETTUCCINE ALFREDO” ARE POPULAR ONLY OVERSEAS This is perhaps the most curious in this top ten. The fettuccine Alfredo is both the most famous “Italian” food in the United States and the least known dish in Italy. These noodles, seasoned with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano, are in fact actually been invented in the “Bel Paese”, specifically by Alfredo Di Lelio, the owner of a restaurant in Rome, but in Italy have never been imposed as a traditional dish. Overseas, however, have become increasingly popular and in time became a symbol of the good life in Rome. For this reason legions of American tourists coming to Italy hoping to enjoy the fettuccine Alfredo at every restaurant on the peninsula remain very disappointed.

10 - YOU SHALL RESPECT TRADITION AND WHAT ITALIAN MAMMA SAYS. She knows from her mamma, who knew from her mamma who knew from her mamma and so on. It's been tried and tested. And what a mother teaches at her daughter while they are cooking? That love is the center of all. We must share Italian food with your loved ones. It is what life, love and family are all about.

Where can I play Bocce Ball in South Florida?

Palm Beach County Bocce Courts Jupiter: George Carlin Park Royal Palm Beach: Crestwood, Camellia & Veterans Parks.

Wellington: Aquatics Complex Boynton Beach: Meadows Park, Boynton Lakes & Jaycee Park Lake Worth: Bryant & John Prince Memorial Parks Delray Beach: Gov Lawton Chiles Park Boca Raton: Louie Bossi's Italian Ristorante

Broward County Bocce Courts Fort Lauderdale: Louie Bossi's Italian Ristorante Hallandale Beach: Golden Isles Tennis & Bocce Ball Courts

Miami-Dade County Bocce Courts Miami - Dante Fascell Park, Bocce Ristorante & Ironside Plaza Marathon Key Community Park Big Pine Key Community Park

Regulation size of bocce ball courts is 13' by 91' but with space so limited in South Florida we do find many courts with much smaller dimensions. Backyard bocce ball courts are almost always smaller perhaps 6' by 64' feet and of course courts inside restaurants such as Louie Bossi Ristorante are much smaller and meant mostly as a novelty and to enjoy a friendly game with family and friends just after that after dinner shot of sambuca. Those on the larger courts tend to drink red wine but that is not always the case as there are some bocce ball players who do not drink at all. If you're looking for a really nice court in South Florida you will want to consider the court in La Piazza in Ironside Miami which was designed by businessman Ofer Mizrahi. The local Italian organizations especially Sons of Italy are involved in charitable construction of local courts especially in Catholic schools and they are a great source to go to for Bocce Ball related events and even local places to play bocce ball. There is also a meetup group called Free Range Bocce Ball, they have many members but they do not play on a court rather an open space. Baci - Bocce!!

Bella Venice known to Italians as Venezia

Gondolas, Canals, the iconic St Mark’s Square and Basilica, the romantic ambiance on waterside piazza's and of course delicious food… that's what I think of when I think of Venice, Italy.

Venice is the capital of the Veneto region of Italy. It is in a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The Venetian Islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave river.

Much of Venezia’s wealth is derived from salt production, which Venetians perfected by evaporating seawater from the lagoons surrounding the city. Salt was such a valuable commodity that it was used to pay armies for their service, this is where the word “salary” came from, which we all still use today.

A dish not to miss, in Venenzia, is Branzino Intrecciato, Mediterranean Sea Bass braided with rosemary and baked in white wine. So rich in flavor you won't forget it just like this amazing city!

Each area and corner of Bella Italy has its own charm and style! Italy holds an absolute lifetime of dreams waiting to happen along with world history and personal history for all Italians!
