Today was one of those days I used to dream about when we created Coliving Italy. I took a long walk into Città della Pieve, sat at a magical café and worked for a while, then picked up local vegetables and mortadella. I also went to get some guests from a nearby vineyard, came back with a bottle of Canaiolo, and have now just settled into my armchair after an incredible meal. The vegetables came from Quinto Sapore, which has a small shop in the town center. I bought erbe di campo, which basically means “herbs from the field” a mix of wild Italian greens. I sautéed them with garlic and olive oil from Fontesecca, and added a piece of smoked chili quinto gave me… SO good! I had it with fresh asparagus and local mortadella from a butcher I just discovered here in Città della Pieve. I also got a sauce made from paté di talli di aglione, the stems of a special local garlic I’ve only ever found here. It’s life quality to be able to live like this on a completely normal workday. Now I have two more days like this ahead, with some digital lectures and panel talks during the day, combined with food experiences and guests in the evenings. #ilfornellocoliving #colivingitaly #quintosapore #poderefontesecca #cittadellapieve
