CHIQUE SECRETS OF DOLCE AMORE
by BARBARA CONELLI

SYNOPSIS:
  When we talk about “the city of love”, most of us immediately think of Paris,
Venice, Rome or another famous metropolis whose romantic stories we know from movies and novels. But to Barbara Conelli, none of them are the real city of love. To the author, love doesn’t mean passionate gestures, big promises of eternal devotion, ardent embraces, torrid kisses, or stormy arguments followed by even stormier reconciliations.
  To the author, love means something completely different and much simpler.
The smell of morning cappuccino and fresh pannetone at Pasticceria Marchesi. A
brisk stroll through the awakening city and sensual curves of gold shadows on the wet paving of Via della Spiga. Joyful shouts of bohemian artists and their graceful muses at Fornace Curti. A crispy panzerotto savored in the company of cantankerous pigeons on the piazzetta of San Fedele. Old furniture stores in narrow streets and adorable trinkets she can never resist. The tinkling of a tram from 1929 with uncomfortable wooden seats and a hundred-year-old conductor. Sublime flamingos and peevish peacocks in an emerald-green garden that has never been owned by anyone. Remote nooks and crannies whose secrets have been revealed only to her and the few ghosts with aristocratic hearts who appear in them from time to time. Visionary dreams, inextinguishable hopes, the desire to live, the courage to create, the strength to grow.To the author, love means all this and much more. This and much more is what she receives from the city that makes you fall in love a hundred times a day, breaking your heart over and over again, only to make it beat faster five minuteslater. Milan. Barbara’s city of love. The city she has adored since the year dotbecause it’s just like her: it has dozens of faces, it laughs and cries at the same time, it’s vain, unpredictable, and you never know what mood it wakes up with.
Join Barbara Conelli and submerge yourself in the secrets of this magical citythat has been breathing love for centuries. Love that is dignified, childish, creative, treacherous, passionate, painful, forgiving, crazy, insane, unbridled, endless, fleeting, unfaithful, platonic, carnal, hateful, desperate, volatile, conceited, and divine. The kind of love whose chalice you quickly drain, so that on the next corner, you can reach for another one, even more delicious and intoxicating.

  3. I would go to Florence and see a very old friend that I grew up with that moved back to Italy when we were still kids. We are still in touch today.

  4. I’d love to see the culture in Italy. Maybe go see some of the sights, but I’ve always been much more interested in culture than history.

  5. If I could visit Italy, I’d go to Tuscany and the countryside and visit all the old Roman Ruins & Churches. I would also go on a cheese and Olives Tasting Tour.

  6. I would love to see Rome but I also have relatives in Bari I met when I was younger I would love to see them again

  7. I wish I could visit Italy. My parents are there right now in Florence and they say it is amazing

  8. I have been but I would love to go again as a “grownup” and revisit all the wonderful sights in more than a few days.

  9. I would like to see all the sights such as canals in Venice, The Leaning tower of Pisa and enjoy all the smells of Italy as in their wonderful food.

  10. I would love to see Rome-the Colesseum, the Ferrareri factory, Pompeii and The Leaning Tower of Pisa and Michaelangelo’s works.

  11. I would love to see the countryside of Tuscany and visit Florence and see the statue of David. Such beauty.
