Thanks also to Lola for sharing her blob on another town's celebration with peccorino. All of you/us writers about Italy who cross over publishers' book category listings should get together and form a publishing company. Anyone writing about Italy can't be confined to categories of Travel, Art, Biography, Cuisine, Inspiration, History, etc. My own published book, La Bella Vita--Daily Inspiration from italy by Helen Ruchti is once again needs a publisher. (Because of the economy, my publisher is going out of business!) Barnes & Noble shelves my book in the travel section, but it is so much more than that. We writers need a recognizable name, an agent, secretary, and lots of money to send us on a nation-wide book signing adventure to 50 cities where we have 100 friends who will bring friends to the book signing. Wouldn't that be great? Tanti auguri - coraggio - and keep on sharing your Italian adventures. Thanks, Barbara, for a delightful description of a unique celebration.

Panicale celebrates its cheese tumbling race on Pasquetta, the Monday after Easter. You can read my post on it here http://agliooliopeperoncino.blogspot.com/2009/04/pasquetta-or-power-of-pic-nic.html I loved the history behind this bizarre tradition, brava Barbara. I have to absolutely get myself over to your neck of the woods for a relaxing time chez vous... I've been thinking about it for a while.
