Un Matrimonio Movimentato
La Domenica del Corriere
18 maggio 1958
UN MATRIMONIO MOVIMENTATO: Un giovane di parola. Alla vigilia delle nozze Francesco D., abitante in una borgata della Valle Imagna, scese a Bergamo per ritirare il braccialetto che doveva offrire alla fidanzata. Sulla via del ritorno fu investito da un camion. Raggiunse la propria casa. Il mattino dopo, abbondantemente bendato, il giovane, per non mancare alla parola data, si presentรฒ in chiesa. E qui attese la propria sposa. Questa, vedendolo cosรฌ conciato, svenne. Quando riprese i sensi, la cerimonia ebbe luogo. Il sacerdote benedisse le nozze e si compiacque con Francesco per la forza d'animo.
AN EVENTFUL WEDDING: A young man of his word. On the eve of the wedding of Francesco D., living in a township of the Imagna Valley, went to Italy to pick up the bracelet to be offered to his girlfriend. On the way back he was hit by a truck. He reached his home. The next morning, heavily bandaged, the youth, not to break his word, went to church. And here was waiting his own wife. This, seeing the state he was in, she fainted. When he recovered consciousness, the ceremony took place. The priest blessed the wedding and was pleased with Francesco's fortitude.
Please excuse the TERRIBLE translation, my Italian is still not very good! But I thought the story was too great not to share in English.

San Pellegrino
San Pellegrino is exported all over the world from Italy. The company was founded in 1899, but it wasn't until 1932 that Enzio Granelli first mixed orange juice with the famous sparkling water; creating the aranciata. In the same year, the new flavoured San Pellegrino drinks were launched in their now famous clavetta glass bottles, with a rounded base and glass which imitated the lightly textured peel of oranges. A popular variation of the drink is gassosa e vino, a combination of lemon San Pellegrino and red wine. Delicious! After trying spritzers with both white and red wine recently, and thoroughly enjoying it, I will have to track down some San Pellegrino in New Zealand and try this out too.

Gelati
Carpigiani van at a fairground in Bologna, Italy, 1958
There is a new museum just out of the city of Bologna, Italy, in Anzola dell'Emilia, dedicated to gelati, the Italian ice cream. The museum is at the headquarters of Carpigiani, the world-popular gelato machine which was founded in Bologna in 1946. The origin of gelati as we know it today, is said to be traced back to the Medici; Cosimo Ruggieri, and alchemist and astrologer to Caterina de' Medici in the 16th Century. The free museum features and tells the tale of many histories and stories of the delicious dessert. One day I will visit!
