Perfect timing, as we are heading to Rome tomorrow for the Caravaggio exhibit. Rome has mostly been a jumping off point the past couple of years, as we were heading to Lucca to look at houses, so we're looking forward to spending a few days there.

Enjoy! (& good luck house hunting) I stopped at Gelateria Artigianale Antonietta Cecere for a coffee with zabaglione before I went up the hill to see the Caravaggio.

We bought a house just outside the walls! We had always expected to buy in the center, but we found a place with a lovely yard for our dog and only a 10-minute walk to the walls. Loving the retirement life.

You missed my favorite (Gelateria del Teatro), but added another one to my list. I'd never heard of Gelateria Artigianale Antonietta Cecere—now I'll have to try it!

So many people love Gelateria del Teatro! (I am not one of them 😂 It’s not creamy enough for me)

Great info! Personally, I'm not that big a fan of whipped cream, so I'll use my carb budget on other things. On the other hand, I'm intrigued by the idea of gorgonzola gelato!

Hi Gillian-I really love your work and the incredible information you provide us with. However due to some family difficulties I am asking you to cancel my subscription as of now. Will I be able to access the information that I have paid for up to now? I wish I didn’t have to do this but as you know things are not great here in the US. If things get better I will Re subscribe. Please let me know that you have received this message and what you will do. Many thanks. I wish I didn’t have to ask for this. Jessica Josephson

Saving saving saving, thank you ♥️🍨

And dreaming of a delicious gelato con panna.

I don’t know why gelato hasn’t really taken hold here…

Sigh. And I in turn, am not such a fan. I DO love sprinkles though.
