In this special Ferragosto edition, we celebrate Italy at the height of summer — a season of long vacations, vibrant festivals, and timeless traditions. Featuring our Chat with an Expat interview with Risa and Tanner of Our Story to Tell, this issue explores what it’s like to raise a family abroad and embrace la dolce vita beyond the postcard moments.
From biodynamic vineyards and farms in Montecucco and Emilia-Romagna to seasonal recipes inspired by Garibaldi and Calabria’s ricotta scanta, we highlight authentic travel, food, and culture rooted in sustainability and heritage. This issue also features Italy’s must-see summer art exhibitions, practical tips for first-time visitors, and a special language spotlight — including a giveaway of Italian Language Bites by Vera Sarzano of Chicche d’italiano.
