Branzino and Orata are delicious. They are also very popular here in Italy. Indeed, they are considered something of a delicacy. You really should try them.
Do you know what Branzino and Orata are? Well, if you do, you can stop reading now -even if you might like to take a peek -just to be sure.
On the other hand, if you have no idea whatsoever what the blazes Branzino and Orata are, then please keep reading. It’ll be worth your while, I assure you.
I love both of them!

The Abruzzo Earthquake – An Expat’s Story

Earthquakes are frightening events, which the owners of the Casa del Amorino apartment down in Introdacqua, near Sulmona, know something about. Indeed, they found themselves right in the middle of the earthquake which shook a substantial section of the Abruzzo region in Italy on the 6 April, 2009, leaving the regional capital l’Aqulia badly damaged and many thousands homeless.
This is Jenny and Gareth Williams’ first hand account of the experience, which Jenny kindly forwarded to me, after I wrote to find out how things were going. Despite the traumatic tale you are about to read, I am very happy to be able to report that Jenny and Gareth’s jewel in Introdacqua, was unscathed, and is open for business.
It is also a tale of a husband protecting his wife, and there are no comments from me. The story speaks for itself. The Williams’ account is at times chilling, but has a happy ending.
