        • My Family Christmas Eve in Sicily and The Feast of 24 Treats – "I keep coming across articles intensively debating whether the Seven Fish Feast, where seven different fish-based dishes are served on Christmas Eve,  is  an authentic Italian or  Italian-American tradition. As an Italian, I must admit I hadn't heard about it until eight years ago and most of my Italian friends haven't either. Some of my Italian-American friends told me that their families do not follow this tradition at all, while others exclaimed 'Of course we eat seven different fish courses on Christmas Eve, don't you know?! Aren't you Italian too!". . .  – Wednesday, December 24, 2014 - 08:30 – Katia Amore – "About Us" – Source: italy magazine – "Everything Italy. Authentically Italian."

        • Italian Christmas recipes – "Christmas is the crowning jewel of the Italian feast of Natale, a three day festive celebration held over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Italians are well known for their love of feasting and the festive period is no exception, with Italian home cooks displaying their culinary prowess across a number of sumptuous courses. The Christmas Eve tradition, known as the Feast of the Seven Fishes, is perhaps the most well known of the three feasts and is characterized by an extravagant seafood menu with its twelve courses supposedly representative of the twelve apostles. As this collection of Italian Christmas recipes demonstrates, festive dishes vary from region to region. Sicilian food blogger, Antonella la Macchia celebrates Christmas Eve with irresistible dishes such as Sicilian cheese pie, Fried cod with cauliflower ‘affogato’ and Cassatelle di Agira – Sicilian stuffed pastries, while Northern Italian chefs the Costardi Brothers’ Red mullet with capers, black olive and tomato would be an excellent choice for your own Feast of the Seven Fishes." – "About us" – Source: GREAT ITALIAN CHEFS – "Inspiring food lovers everywhere"

        • 4 Italian Myths Debunked – "You’ve heard it said that “things sound better in Italian,” right? I have, for instance, stopped calling it “fruit salad” altogether. Because when I tell my family we’re having “macedonia” for dessert it sounds so much more intriguing. That romantic ideal that many Italophiles (including yours truly) have attached to the sound of Italian words for mundane things can also extend to the Italian stories we hear while we travel through the country. Even if there’s evidence to the contrary, it can be fun to believe stories that just sound good.Well-meaning tour guides or travel writers have perpetuated some Italian myths, perhaps because they didn’t do their homework or because they just like the sound of the myth. Well, I like truths, even if they come at the expense of something that sounds more romantic.

        ITALY IN NOVEMBER
        • November in Italy – "It may be hard to convince someone whose heart is set on sunlit Tuscan hills and sparkling Ligurian beaches that a trip to Italy in November is really a good idea, but anyone who’s on a strict budget will immediately see the appeal." – 9 Jan, 2007 – by Jessica [Spiegel] – Source: Italy section of whyGo, Part of the BootsnAll Travel Network – "ONE-STOP INDIE TRAVEL GUIDE EST. 1998"
        • Traveling to Italy in November: What You Need to Know – "When you imagine your dream trip to Italy, chances are very good you imagine sun-dappled piazzas, sunny beaches, sun-soaked hills… Basically, you imagine sun. November in Italy is not sunny. It can still be a great month for a trip to Italy, however, if you’re more focused on saving money than on getting a tan. November is something of a bridge between Italy’s fall shoulder season and the winter off-season, and prices are generally low on things like airfare and accommodation. The trade-off for that drop in price is that the weather isn’t what most of us would consider ideal. Keep reading to find out what to expect from November in Italy, including the weather and what’s on the calendar." – by: Jessica Spiegel – "ABOUT" – Source: Italy Explained – "TRAVEL GUIDE | STORE | BLOG | ABOUT | MAIL"
        • Visiting Italy in November – "Many travelers planning an Italian itinerary are set on a summer getaway. Daydreaming about dining in piazzas and sunbathing by the sea can be tempting, but it discounts the downsides of high tourist season: bloated crowds, heavy heat and inflated prices. An autumn or early-winter getaway in November is a smart alternative. As long as you don't mind decreased daylight, cooler weather and modified museum hours, traveling to Italy in November can save you money and stress." – Mary Gray, studioD – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Travel Tips portion within the Travel section on USA TODAY.COM – "Latest World and US News"

          • Italy Weather and When to Go  – "In general the climate in Rome, and especially Florence and the Tuscan region is very mild. There are little differences between the regions, though. Rule of thumb: at the coast and in the valleys the summers are hotter than in the hilly areas, where the climate is very continental – rain falls are more often. Usually the summers in Tuscany are without rain and very hot, especially in the valleys. Spring (April and May) and autumn (October and November) might be rainy but there are still dry, sunny days. In the winter there are sunny, mild days but at night it sometimes gets very cold. July is the hottest month with temperatures from 73° up to 86°. Especially in the valleys the temperatures sometimes rise up high. In the coldest month – January - they are about 44° at the coast and about 38° to 42° inside the country. Of course the temperature in the mountainous areas is below." – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Italy Travel - Before You Go AKA Italy Travel Guide section on TripAdvisor
