“The crime rate in Venice was one of the lowest in Europe and certainly the lowest in Italy—because the criminals… simply didn‘t know how to get away. Only a resident could navigate the spiderweb of narrow calles, could know in advance that this one was a dead end or that one ended in a canal.”
Having gotten a bit lost in Venice and quite a bit of time walking around it, I quite agree!

Starting this one today after seeing @Texreader for #jubilee I am hoping it's a series.

I love Italian cuisine. Especially pasta. My favourite is spaghetti. I eat them all the time, not only in winter. These are with tomatoes and ricotta.
And my fave Italian singer (I always listen to italian songs while cooking): https://youtu.be/Z4-g8UXa944?si=y_XMecrmomZx8Gu_

I‘m spending a very quiet night reading this book, book 1 of a series set in Venice, recommended by my father-in-law. I really like the author‘s writing style. I‘m hoping it will be the start of a love affair with a new series! #serieslove #foodandlit #ItalyJubilee @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65
A reminder that we are celebrating #Italy all year long with #foodandlit thanks to it being “Jubilee,“ a Holy Year celebrated by the Catholic Church, a year of hope and a time for reflection and forgiveness. Religious or not, every time you read about Italy or eat Italian food, we want you to celebrate it here! Post what you learn about Jubilee, Italy, the Roman Empire, etc! All other planned countries are still going forward.

pickJace & I read these for #foodandlit this month. Strega Nona is set in Italy for #Jubilee - and the others are all set in The Netherlands. Strega Nona was very cute, and I also really liked The Hero of Little Street, which has no words but is quite the adventure when a little boy gets sucked into a 17th century painting in Holland. 🇮🇹🇳🇱

I‘m also starting this book tonight. It‘s a good reminder that #foodandlit is celebrating #Italy all year because it‘s the year of the Jubilee! I‘ll be trying to read at least one book a month for Italy. @Catsandbooks
pickIris Origo writes this for herself, not for publication, in the years 1939-40, living in Italy and married to an Italian, but of British and American parentage she has a unique perspective on the war brewing in Europe. So well written that after finishing it, before writing this, I went online and ordered two more (tagged in comments.) I could do worse than take her as a model for how to get through the next regime. #LitsyAtoZ #letterC @Texreader
