Welcome to another episode of “Kimberly's Italy,” where I, Kimberly and my co-host Tommaso, take you on a journey through the captivating regions of Italy. In this episode, I shift the spotlight to the stunning Lake Como and its charming surrounding villages. As Rome prepares for an influx of visitors for the Catholic Church Jubilee in 2025, we offer recommendations for alternative travel destinations, encouraging you to explore less touristy areas for a more authentic Italian experience. Main Themes: Alternative Travel Destinations: With Rome expected to be bustling with Jubilee visitors, I suggest considering Lake Como as a serene and picturesque alternative. Personal Experiences: I share my personal visits to Lake Como during off-peak seasons, highlighting the benefits of avoiding large crowds and truly immersing in the local culture. Diverse Attractions: From dining and shopping in Como to the tranquil charm of villages like Moltrasio, there's something for every traveler. Noteworthy mentions include the elegant Passalacqua hotel and the beautiful gardens and artwork at Hotel Tremezzo and Villa Carlota in Tremezzo. Limited Ferry Services: While ferry services may be limited in some areas, I assure you that villages such as Laglio and Argegno, offer exceptional dining, hiking, and breathtaking views of the Alps. Historic Villas and Bustling Waterfronts: North of Argegno, explore Sala Comacina and Leno, known for their historic villas and vibrant waterfronts with public markets and eateries. Ease of Mobility in Menaggio: Menaggio is highlighted for its easier mobility and less crowded atmosphere compared to Bellagio and Como. Sailing and Kiting Adventures: For the adventurous, I discuss the thrilling sailing and kiting experiences available, particularly at the Bellano Sailing School near Varenna. This episode emphasizes the joy of uncovering hidden gems and experiencing local life away from the usual tourist trails. Join me and my co-host Tommaso as we delve into the wonders of Lake Como, offering practical tips and heartfelt stories to inspire your next Italian adventure.

Welcome back to another Industry Night with Nycci Nellis. Still taking you on my travels through Italy! The sites, the sounds, the conversations, the wine and the food — so I'm gonna take you on a quick tour of Como: -Stayed just outside Bellagio in the town of Lezzeno in the new hotel, Filario -Spent the morning walking the streets of Cernobbio, shmying around the gorgeous grounds of The Villa D'Esta. Followed by a 3 hour lunch on the terrace restaurant. It was like being in a movie! -Gluttons that we are we went to the Michelin-starred Mistral that evening in the Grand Villa Serbelloni — so many table side preps, including a house made ice cream. The staff was so lovely and had such a generous spirit. We just had a wonderful time -A Private boat trip through the lake to get a lakeside view of all the beautiful Villas -Loved walking around Tremezzo and another lakeside lunch this time at The Grande -Walking around Bellagio AND another delish dinner at Forma & Gusto So here's the thing about Como — it is gorgeous and the views are unlike anything we have ever seen. David and I both agree that we ate well — though you are not going to Como for the food and again, the sites were stunning. But we are definitely ocean people and not Lake people. Sardinia is more our speed Now that is the past — let's talk the now. I have been out and about as much as I can and I did check out the new menu at Chang Chang — amazing ah-mazing offerings. Peter Chang and his team are turning out some of the best Sichuan in town. Protip get the tofu skin — ohmygoodness so good AND I did dine at the very hot and good luck getting a rez El Presidente. Stephen Starr's latest is visually spectacular. DC has nothing like it. And the service is classic Starr! Amazingly kind, thoughtful and prompt. There are still some kinks to work out as far as the food goes but I am optimistic. Ok! On to today's show. So back in the Summer I had Philippe Massoud Chef/Owner of ilili restaurants - that's ilili NYC & ilili DC- on Foodie And The Beast. It was the first time we met and his story was so engaging that I thought — I have got to go deeper with this restauranteur on Industry Night. So if you don't know, Philippe Massoud is the Chef/Owner of ilili restaurants, founded in 2007 in New York. Chef Philippe came to New York as a refugee from Lebanon in his teens and founded ilili as an homage to his country, with the menu featuring dishes recreated from his childhood memories. His immigration story and his culinary trajectory and how he brought the dishes of his childhood to the East Coast is one worth diving down deep for — Chef! Quotes ""People are really trying to execute it in a much better way, in a fresher way, in a more studied way, and we are injecting professional skills into it."- Philippe Massoud Featured in the episode Philippe Massoud Persona Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philippe.massoud/ Business Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ililirestaurants/ https://www.instagram.com/ililidc/ Linkedln:https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippemassoud/ Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 04:42 - DC's Thrilling Events and Delectable New Menus 09:01 - Religious Conflict, Migration, and Fresh Beginnings 13:50 - Learning in the Kitchen and a Relocation Adventure 14:40 - First Supermarket Visit: A Culinary Exploration 19:21 - Constant Cooking without Aspiring to Be a Chef 23:54 - Diverse Origins: Hummus, Tex Mex, and Immigration 26:38 - Revolutionizing Levantine Cuisine with Professional Expertise 28:46 - Exploring Levantine Dishes, Unraveling Hummus Variations 32:19 - Authentic Dishes Crafted with Familial Engagement 36:56 - Italian Pasta: Regional Rivalries, Flavorings, and Techniques 40:38 - Lebanese Restaurant Success: Unveiling Heritage in the Sky 43:35 - DC's Evolution into a Culinary Wonderland 45:13 - Experiential Retail: A Key to Attracting Customers 51:45 - Outro

Massi Zeus ospita Nicole per parlare dell'Hotel Bazzoni a Tremezzo
We have a very special guest joining us today. Valentina de Santis is the owner and CEO of Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como - which is often listed as one of the top hotels in Italy. The ethos of Grand Hotel Tremezzo is too much to put in one short intro. From the crystalline waters of Lake Como, to the art nouveau palace interiors, to the floating pool, and the beautifully landscaped grounds - this has got to be the birthplace of la dolce vita. What’s more - this has been a family run hotel for over 100 years and the authentic hospitality is the stuff of dreams. Valentina and I have a hilarious chat about behind the scenes details, celebrities, history, her shenanigans growing up, and what makes Italy deserve its place as one of the top destinations in the world.

Finestre sull'Arte - il primo podcast italiano per la storia dell'arte
La prima puntata della terza stagione di Finestre sull'Arte è uno speciale dedicato a Francesco Hayez e ai centocinquant'anni dell'Unità d'Italia. Con i suoi lavori dall'elevato contenuto storico e patriottico, Francesco Hayez è visto come il pittore più rappresentativo dell'importante evento che si celebra quest'anno, ma non solo: il pittore è anche considerato come il caposcuola del romanticismo in Italia e la sua figura, in pittura, è paragonabile a quella di Alessandro Manzoni nella letteratura. Nella puntata di oggi Ilaria e Federico ripercorrono la carriera di Francesco Hayez, analizzando i suoi capolavori più belli e più importanti e cercando quindi di costruire un ampio panorama sulla figura di questo grande artista.
