HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dear friends, although I can't be in touch with all of you as much as I would, I feel so grateful whenever I find your kind comments! Thank you so much for keeping an eye on Verona Daily Photo even if it's not being "daily" at the moment.

Tonight we'll be having friends at dinner and maybe a walk into Piazza Bra (here in the photo) which is a few steps from home.

I wish you a very happy 2011, may it be full of health, love and good things. May your wishes come true!

Pasticceria Miozzi

It's been long time since I last posted a "coffee related" photo. Well, here is one, or rather, two!

I went to the Pasticceria Miozzi for a "midmorning" coffee where I enjoyed this lovely "caffè macchiato" and a tiny "bigné" filled with chantilly cream. The icy cold weather outside made this break even more enjoyable and cosy.

On the counter you can see a "Panettone" a cake that, along with "Pandoro" is one of the typical italian Christmas cakes (the latter is tipically veronese, made by Bauli, Melegatti and Paluani). Some "pasticcerie" make their own, like Miozzi, and they are sold exclusively in the shop.

Thanks every one out there for the Christmas wishes. I hope you, too, had a paceful Christmas and that you are enjoying the season holidays!

Merry Christmas!

Snow in Verona, a few days ago...

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Osteria Sottoriva's warm corner

Can you feel the warmth of the little Osteria Sottoriva? Wine choice is written on the chalkboard, followed by a firm rule of the place: tables are to be shared. The last line is about service: it's slow!

Piazza Indipendenza

Unwell and blocked at home, couldn't go out to photograph the tree, now turned completely yellow. I am showing you another shot of that sunny day when I passed under the great Gingko tree and admired the sunlight cast on the ancient stones and bricks of a medieval palace on Piazza Indipendenza.
