As Grazia treats Rebecca to some chocolate on her cornetto,
The familiar crowd joins in the spirit of the moment, as usual:


Back to La Cioccolateria

As if we ever leave the place for very long.

Grazia, the owner, handles her wares with the pride they so richly deserve.

A Night at the Opera

“This is too difficult,” for sure.
The line is from Dorina’s opening
Aria. But a comic opera is, by far,
The easier puzzle and the most fun.

Far more evident the tomfoolery
When opera is the satiric object.
Ego and artifice, with baffoonery
And romance, all add to the effect.

Why Do I Wonder About the Clouds Only in Spoleto?

Perhaps it is the way the terraced hill frames the sky.


Or maybe it’s the way you can’t count on the weather.

Another Treat Picked Up in Treviso

Patatina del gusto, which our dictionary work so far translates roughly as “fried taste.” Sounds about right for potato chip

Other Treats from La Cioccolateria

The treats are fine, but the method is divine:
Start out by choosing from the display of logs.
Position the merchant’s knife to the desired specs.
Watch as the chocolate crumbles onto the counter.
Then, after she’s scooped up the pieces and gone off
To weigh the big haul, she insists on inviting us
To gobble up all the remaining crumbs for free.
