Si narra che nel maggio del 1860 quando Giuseppe Garibaldi e i suoi Mille, nella battaglia contro i Borbone, conquistarono Palermo per unirla all’Italia, il condottiero cercò ristoro in un piccolo bar e lo chef servì in suo onore un gelato coi tre colori della bandiera nazionale: così nacque "Il Giardinetto" un "pezzo duro" che, con i suoi tre strati di fragola, cedro e pistacchio, arricchiti di canditi, i colori dello spongato richiamavano quelli del Tricolore.
Da allora sono passati 164 anni, ma la storica gelateria Ilardo è ancora lì, che fa il suo gelato giardinetto
Going through some old photos of Turin this time, I noticed I took pretty much the same photo as I did in Milan https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/688284367745626708
Apparently I'm fascinated by these glass roofs and domes without even knowing 😁
#GoodMorning#Mastodon!
Really late wake up today as it's a national bank holiday in Italy: it's liberation day, to remind us to fight against every form of #fascism out there.
Sadly, at this very present day, there are so many different forms around the world.
The #PositiveVibes for today is for you to remind that from a single spark you can get a huge fire, never lose hope.
I wish you an amazing day, starting with a coffee and a hug.
After a chilly night, the morning sun behind the Torre Del Mangia begins to heat-up the medieval Piazza del Campo at Siena, Tuscany, Italy. April 2024. #siena#piazzadelcampo#toscane#tuscany#italia#italy

Looking through old photos of Milan. When the weather improves I might just take the train and spend a day over there taking photos 🚆📷 (and visit Chinatown for some food 👀 🍜)
