A nice plate of fregola with seafood.
A few months ago, a great friend of mine (Giovanni), made me taste a delicious plate of fregola with seafood.
Fregola with seafood is a traditional Sardinian dish, much appreciated for its rich flavor and simplicity. Here is some interesting information about this dish:
Fregola, or fregula, is a typical Sardinian semolina pasta, similar to couscous, but with larger and more irregular grains.
Fregola is usually prepared with a variety of seafood such as mussels, clams, shrimp and squid.
Fregola is toasted in a pan and then cooked in a fish broth or salted water. Seafood is added during cooking to add flavor to the dish.
The dish is often garnished with chopped fresh parsley and served hot.
In this article I am talking about you can see a dish of fregola with seafood, with mussels and shrimp clearly visible. The fregola appears well toasted and seasoned with a rich sauce, probably tomato-based, which evenly envelops the pasta. This dish is a great example of Sardinian cuisine, which highlights local ingredients such as seafood.
It is an ideal dish for those who love the flavors of the sea and want to try something authentic and traditional. If you have any other questions or want to know more about another dish, let me know!

Frègula, often mistakenly Italianized as fregola, is a type of semolina pasta produced in Sardinia. The production of fregula has medieval origins. The first historical document to mention it is the Statute of the Millers of Tempio Pausania dating back to the 14th century, which regulates its preparation, which had to take place strictly from Monday to Friday, in order to be able to allocate the water of Saturday and Sunday to the fields.

La polena del galeone nella zona del Porto Antico a Genova

The figurehead of the galleon in the Porto Antico area of ​​Genoa.
The Neptune Galleon, located in the Porto Antico of Genoa, is a replica of a Spanish galleon built in 1986 for the film “Pirates” by Roman Polański. The ship is famous for its figurehead, which represents the god of the seas Neptune². This imposing bow figure adds a touch of authenticity and historical charm to the ship.

The Neptune is one of the main attractions of the Porto Antico and offers visitors a unique experience, allowing them to explore a privateer ship and imagine the life of pirates during the golden age of piracy. If you are in Genoa, it is definitely worth a visit!

2. Symbolism: It showed the wealth and strength of the ship's owner.
3. Protection: It was believed to protect the ship and its crew during voyages.

The bell tower of San Lorenzo seen from Castelletto

Il campanile di San Lorenzo visto dalla spianata di Castelletto

The bell tower of San Lorenzo seen from the Castelletto esplanade.
The city of Genoa, with its historical and architectural charm, offers numerous panoramic points from which to admire its beauties. One of the most evocative is undoubtedly the Castelletto esplanade, a panoramic terrace that offers a breathtaking view of the city and the sea. Among the many buildings that stand out on the horizon, the majestic bell tower of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo stands out.

From the Esplanade of Castelletto, the bell tower of San Lorenzo rises with its characteristic Gothic structure, characterized by black and white horizontal bands⁴. This bell tower, an integral part of the cathedral, is one of the most significant examples of Gothic architecture in Italy. Its grandeur and elegance immediately capture the attention of anyone who happens to admire the view from the esplanade.
The Cathedral of San Lorenzo is the main Catholic place of worship in Genoa and its construction dates back to the 9th century. However, the Gothic bell tower was added only later, in the 13th century, and represents a perfect example of how medieval architecture has evolved over the centuries. The black and white bands that decorate the bell tower are typical of the Genoese style and give the building a unique and recognizable appearance.

The Spianata di Castelletto is not only a panoramic point, but also a place of peace and tranquility where Genoese and tourists can relax and enjoy the view. The terrace is easily accessible and offers a 360-degree view of the city, allowing you to admire not only the bell tower of San Lorenzo, but also other historic buildings such as the Palazzo Ducale and the Torre Grimaldina⁴.
Visiting the Spianata di Castelletto and admiring the bell tower of San Lorenzo is an experience that allows you to fully appreciate the beauty and history of Genoa. This panoramic point offers a unique perspective on the city and its architectural treasures, making every visit an unforgettable moment.

Here's where I took the photo from:

Saint Lawrence was one of the seven deacons of Rome, where he was martyred in 258 during the persecution ordered by the Roman Emperor Valerian in 257. The Catholic Church venerates him as a saint. Since the 4th century, Lawrence has been one of the most venerated martyrs in the Church of Rome. Constantine I was the first to build a small oratory on the site of his martyrdom. This building was enlarged and embellished by Pelagius II (579-590).

The Trevi Fountain: A Masterpiece of Roman Baroque

La fontana di Trevi: un capolavoro del Barocco romano

La fontana di Trevi: un capolavoro del Barocco romano.
La Fontana di Trevi è uno dei monumenti più iconici di Roma e una delle fontane più famose al mondo. Situata nel cuore della città eterna, questa maestosa opera d’arte attira milioni di visitatori ogni anno, affascinati dalla sua bellezza e dalla sua storia.
La fontana fu progettata dall’architetto Nicola Salvi e completata da Giuseppe Pannini nel 1762. La sua costruzione fu commissionata da Papa Clemente XII nel 1732, con l’intento di celebrare il restauro dell’antico acquedotto dell’Acqua Vergine, che risale all’epoca dell’imperatore Augusto. Questo acquedotto forniva acqua pura alla città di Roma e la fontana rappresenta il punto terminale di questo sistema idrico.
La Fontana di Trevi è un capolavoro del tardo barocco, caratterizzata da una ricca decorazione scultorea che rappresenta il mare. Al centro della fontana si erge la statua di Oceano, opera di Pietro Bracci, che guida un cocchio a forma di conchiglia trainato da cavalli marini. Intorno a lui, figure mitologiche e creature marine completano la scena, creando un effetto di movimento e dinamismo.
La fontana è incastonata nella facciata di Palazzo Poli, che funge da sfondo monumentale. Le decorazioni includono numerose piante e specie vegetali scolpite nel marmo, che aggiungono un tocco di realismo e naturalezza all’opera.

Una delle tradizioni più famose legate alla Fontana di Trevi è quella di lanciare una moneta nell’acqua. Si dice che chi lancia una moneta nella fontana, voltandosi di spalle, tornerà sicuramente a Roma. Ogni anno, vengono raccolti circa 1,5 milioni di euro in monete, che vengono devoluti alla Caritas per aiutare i bisognosi.
Nel corso degli anni, la Fontana di Trevi ha subito diversi interventi di restauro per preservarne la bellezza e l’integrità. L’ultimo grande restauro è stato completato nel 2015, grazie al finanziamento della casa di moda Fendi, che ha contribuito con 2,2 milioni di euro.

The Trevi Fountain is not only one of the most visited tourist attractions in Rome, but also a symbol of the city's rich history and culture. With its magnificence and traditions, it continues to enchant and fascinate visitors from all over the world.

The Trevi Fountain is the largest and most famous fountain in Rome. Built on the facade of Palazzo Poli by Nicola Salvi, the competition announced by Pope Clement XII in 1731 was initially won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam but the assignment was subsequently passed to Salvi.
