The Pasticciotto is a warm, shortcrust pastry filled with smooth, rich custard cream. It is strictly paired with Leccese Coffee, a refreshing iced espresso sweetened with local almond milk syrup instead of sugar. It’s a literal explosion of flavors that perfectly captures the sun and energy of Puglia! 🌞🇮🇹

Located in the heart of Lecce's historic center, this stunning monumental church enchants visitors with its incredible facade crafted from local stone (pietra leccese), carved with such mastery that it resembles continuous lace embroidery. 🇮🇹✨

The Venice Lido is currently hosting the 83rd Venice International Film Festival (September 2–12, 2026), helmed by artistic director Alberto Barbera. While the global spotlight shines brightly on Danny Boyle’s opening film INK, the intense geopolitical debates surrounding DAU, and the major returns of Italian cinema icons like Nanni Moretti, there is a deeper, quieter beauty that often goes unnoticed: the setting itself.
For those who cherish hidden gems and old-world aesthetics, the Venice Lido during the festival offers a marvelous contrast. Just steps away from the frantic energy of the Palazzo del Cinema, a short walk reveals stunning villas and grand hotels built in pure Stile Liberty (Italian Art Nouveau), alongside the iconic Hotel Excelsior with its historic Moorish design. For most of the year, this barrier island enjoys a nostalgic tranquility forgotten by mass tourism. Yet, for eleven days, it becomes the center of the universe while beautifully preserving its decadent, historic elegance.
Venice is far more than just fashion walks; it is the ultimate proof of how contemporary art finds its deepest inspiration when framed by grand history and rich Italian architectural tradition.

There is a different kind of electricity in the air today at the Lido for the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Alongside world-class directors and Hollywood stars, the spotlight is entirely captured by the special screening of Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, presented in the Open - Out of Competition section.
This documentary, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, is far more than just a music film. It offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most anticipated and sensational reunions in modern music history: their Live '25 Tour. Crucially, it features the very first joint interviews with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher after more than 25 years of silence, feuds, and separation.
1990s Britpop has, in its own way, evolved into a form of "modern folklore." There is something incredibly romantic and aesthetically powerful about seeing the Gallagher brothers—symbols of a raw, unfiltered British working-class culture—walking among the historic architecture and timeless elegance of the Venice Lido.
In a music industry currently dominated by streaming algorithms and pre-packaged pop, the return of Oasis represents a form of nostalgic resistance. It is a return to the authenticity of raw instruments and anthems that bridge generations. Venice, with its unique ability to foster a dialogue between historic heritage and the contemporary world, provides the ultimate backdrop.
While the documentary is set to hit theaters on September 10th, today the Lido pulses entirely to the rhythm of rock'n'roll.

Want to try one? They are delicious.
🌵Prickly pear cacti are loaded with gorgeous, colorful fruit during these hot and sunny late August days. You simply can't miss them. You can spot them especially in southern Italy, lining countryside roads and railway tracks.
Every time I see them, I take a trip down memory lane.
When I was a kid, I used to eat so many of them. There was always that carefree moment interrupted by a tiny, invisible thorn piercing your skin and hurting for days. 😅
Today, luckily, I’ve learned how to peel them. Here is the ultimate method I use:
• Secure the fruit by piercing it firmly right in the middle with a fork. Never touch it with bare hands.
• Using a sharp knife, slice off both ends (the top and the base).
• Make a gentle longitudinal cut along the skin, from one end to the other.
• Use the knife blade to pry the skin open and roll the fruit out. You will get a perfect, clean cylinder without a single thorn.
An extra tip: Soak them in a bowl of water beforehand to help remove the thorns. Then, pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours before peeling. Cold, on these late summer days, they are absolutely heaven.
❓ Do any of you still have childhood thorn trauma like me, or did you always know how to peel them? 😉
