HALF FARMER, HALF SAILOR: Come with me in Argentario, to savor what’s left of summer, and smell the autumn

A promontory in Central Italy

bordering the Maremma. A shrill and precious name, “Argentario”. http://www.turismo.intoscana.it/en/ . A route suspended between forests and medieval castles. I have tried three different ways, to tell you the same thing: come with me, to Feniglia and Capalbio, possibly the first weekend of the month, because I want to take you to Orbetello to see the wonder in your eyes, when you travel a streets where he plays the antique market.

Of course, in the great lagoon of Orbetello you can photograph the boats that fish for eels, and I imagine – even now – you want to get into a small restaurant in Orbetello, to savor the unique flavor of smoked eels and mullet. http://www.turismo.intoscana.it/en/ . When we emerge from the restaurant, you will not be able to resist the temptation to watch the showcase of Gianni Capitani, one in which a school of fish ceramic watch you, splendid in their colors woven in blue, yellow and green. In a handful of days, I can also in a lovely farm near that city, where a farm gives you the opportunity to horseback riding. We will also go to Porto Ercole, because it is from this place that you can see all the magic Feniglia.

At Capalbio, if you want, we can enter the shop to buy Amerigo “the salamelle”, good food to take with us, at home. In my travel notebook, I wrote down one thing, because I do not want to forget to bring in a special place “L’ISOLA DEL TESORO”, a children’s bookstore. http://www.tuttomaremma.com/en/ . True, we are no longer children, but it is precisely for this reason – believe me – you need to get into strange places and intriguing, those who manage to get you back baby. I promised you a special dinner, seafood, and I will keep my promise, bringing in the restaurant “Isolotto”, in Porto Ercole, where your eye will observe fish, shellfish, vegetables and seasonal fruit pies, choosing what for ever remain in our memory of that lump of happiness together.
