Save L’Aquila!

By Maria Filice • December 16, 2010

Hi Everybody,

Been out of touch breaking…..

Continued promoting my cookbook Breaking Bread in L’Aquila and glad to be back!

I wanted to share an article about the state of the earthquake devastation of L’Aquila and the region of Abruzzo.

Please read this article and support me with the purchase of my book Breaking Bread in L’Aquila.

FT.com/House & Home – Model Village

I was very honored in May when I was invited at Santo Stefano to present my book at Albergo Sextantio. The owner, Daniele Kihlgren restored the character of the village in Santo Stefano. I share the same passion as Kihlgren and look forward to seeing him in February!

a presto,

maria

The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila.

Time Flies! Il Tempo Vola!

By Maria Filice • June 22, 2010

Time Flies! Il Tempo Vola!

I can’t believe a month has passed since our trip to Santo Stefano di Sessanio and L’Aquila on May 15th.

Our Media Director and dear friend, David Nudo took a couple of videos of my talk in Santo Stefano. I smile when I think about our visit….Not only did we eat and drink non stop, we broke break with new friends in Celebration of the region, food, wine and my book! In fact, I mentioned before my talk how much we ate during the day and felt a little uncomfortable, but a good feeling!

The videos are now embedded on the Media/Events page on the Food and Fate site at www.foodandfate.com. They appear under the listing for the Santo Stefano event.

I hope you enjoy them! Would love to hear from you!

Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

By Maria Filice • May 21, 2010

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to share a video of Sextantio Albergo Diffuso, in Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Owner, Daniele Kihlgren and I share the passion of authenticity! I want to spread the word to everybody about the magical medieval experience last weekend when I shared my book “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila” in Santo Stefano di Sessanio on Saturday, May 18th.

Special thanks to the staff that runs Sextantio – never have I been surrounded by a group who are passionate about culture, home life and authenticity of keeping culinary tradition today!

Someone referred Sextantio Albergo Diffuso as a must do on one’s Bucket List. I agree ….. you won’t be disappointed! The perfect Cinderella experience for my European/Italy book launch!

I look forward to coming back for more! Complimenti !
