GIFT....X'MAS, HANUKKAH & MORE

Time to thank people and time to help people. Buying a gift and helping someone, it makes sense for you?

Take a look in my new bag maiden by craftsmen from Portugal:





Also, this stunning ring made with stones from Brazil and Uruguay.




Who sells? 
Associazione P.S.
Patrizia & Silvia are Italian and in 2012 they created this society to help people around the world. It is a nonprofit association that valorize the international handicrafts . Check the page in Facebook:

MILANO BY CARLOTA

After some years, Milano is part of my life. And why not share with you my addresses?

So cosmopolitan, Milano breathes art, fashion, design, food, news, shopping.....




Recently I visited the MUDEC - Museo Delle Culture di Milano where there is the exposition of Jean-Michel Basquiat.  It's worth the visit if you are a fan of graffiti and modern/contemporary art. The restaurant of the museum is a 2 stars Michelin... if you are ready to pay: Enrico Bartolini Mudec

GENEVA-ITALY

I think that Italy often persecutes me, in the good sense of course!!!
Last week, I had lunch in a great Italian restaurant in Geneva. Food from all regions of Italy with a Mozzabar, I went out with the feeling of coming back.


With a great ambiance, great service with a smile and fantastic food. I had a very good 'plat du jour': Risotto Funghi Porcini.
I need to come back to try the 'vero aperitivo milanese'!!! I can't wait!!!

WINTERTIME IN GENEVA






December, less light, cold arriving.... While we are waiting some snow, that seems that it is not coming, I recommend a great fondue or raclette.

For me the best address in town is Chateau D'If, just few minutes from the center of Geneva and you feel the wintertime tasting wines from the region, the famous 'viande séchée' sliced thin and a big choice of fondue: moitié-moitié, vacherin, tomato, mushrooms, truffles & champagne.....

If you are in town, try it!
