Warm, sumptuous and enveloping; on the palate it is structured, medium acid, soft and fruity and on the nose it is characterized by aromas of red fruit and berries, accompanied by a spicy background … all this is the very ancient Primitivo di Manduria, a wine that arrived in Puglia between 1600 and 1700, in the provinces of Taranto. The origin of its name? Among the many vines that were used to grow in the vineyards, there was one that reached maturity before the others and gave a particularly black, sweet and tasty grape that could be harvested in August. At the beginning, at that time, it was called zagarese, but then, for these reasons, it was called “primitive”. From here was born one of the most drinkable and pleasant wines, which goes perfectly with tasty meats, cooked perfectly roasted or grilled.

WORKING STILOSO
E’ tempo di smart working, e con il decreto “Resto a casa”, molte professioni vengono esercitate in remoto da casa propria. Lavorare protetti dalle proprie mura domestiche però non giustifica la trascuratezza. Ricordiamoci di essere glam e presentabili principalmente per noi stessi. E Carrie Bradshaw, protagonista dell’iconica serie tv, ci ha mostrato puntata dopo puntata quanto si può essere “chic” anche lavorando affacciati alla finestra di casa. Quindi il caro, confortevole pigiama in “pile” non va indossato tutto il giorno. Si è mai vista Carrie scrivere le sue storie da casa con indosso il pigiama infeltrito? Assolutamente no. Ovviamente nessuno ci impone un dress code rigido, ma un dress code pratico e fashion assolutamente si. Allora maglioni e cardigan dai colori vivaci, per tingere il nostro umore. Magari una camicia a fantasia se abbiamo delle video conferenze. Per quanto riguarda il trucco e parrucco, ormai con i tutorial che abbiamo a disposizione e con il tempo che almeno per adesso no ci manca, possiamo imparare a fare una piega degna dei migliori hair stylist.

For a week now, precautionary measures have been stepped up to combat covids19 which are surely blocking our beautiful country and also the rest of Europe. One of the sectors that is definitely undergoing these measures heavily is the restaurant sector. Waiting for better times, some starred restaurants have tried to alleviate this problem through delivery, therefore the possibility of having some proposals to choose from. How about?Basically a starry dinner, but at your house even on the weekend. It could also be an idea for this unusual Father’s Day!
LEGO 500F
Four hundred kg, 189,000 bricks and 830 hours of work: these are the numbers that gave life to the iconic Fiat 500 F Legend represented by 960 Lego pieces, in collaboration with FCA, which from Turin have represented it in full size, on the occasion of the new Lego Creator Expert Fiat 500 set. This construction, based on the Fiat 500 of the late 1960s, includes detailed interiors and a sunroof that can be opened to give the driver the opportunity to enjoy the Italian sun while sailing along the Amalfi Coast. A model equipped with everything needed to face a trip to Europe. “It is a source of great pride for us that Lego has chosen the Fiat 500,” said Cristiano Fiorio of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. “We know that the Lego group focuses solely on iconic products and we know that the Fiat 500 is: it has marked the history of the car, and has never been exclusively a car. It has an artistic and cultural value that Lego helps to consolidate “.
FASE REM
Io direi che in questo periodo è necessario più di ogni altra cosa sognare. E allora per iniziare immaginiamo di fare glamping in una tenda safari in uno spettacolare parco faunistico sulla costa meridionale del Kent, dando da mangiare alle giraffe a mano. Potremmo metterlo in programma alla fine di questa odissea covid19. Situata nel tranquillo paesaggio bucolico del Kent meridionale, Port Lympne Reserve è una vera fetta della savana africana sulla costa inglese. Portando il suo lussuoso alloggio con un soggiorno sotto le stelle al Giraffe Lodge. Giraffe Lodge è stato vincitore del premio Tourism Experience of the Year ai Visit England Awards. Questo posto assolutamente unico offre lussuosi campeggi in tende private da safari. Un’autentica fuga africana, con i safari guidati dai ranger specialisti della Riserva. La cena servita nel Lapa, un grande lodge in stile africano con vista, con cibo tradizionale in stile sudafricano preparato su un fuoco all’aperto. Per ora solo un bel sogno.

The brand will be called JLO Jennifer Lopez and it will be really extravagant, just like her and the Camuto Group that has agreed to collaborate with her. It will be a very varied collection, stiletto heels, leopard shoes, boots and sneakers.
#IORESTOACASA
Impossibile in questo momento non parlare del Corona virus. Qualcosa che prima conoscevamo solo attraverso le immagini dalla Cina, adesso lo stiamo vivendo a casa nostra. La situazione attuale ci porta a rispettare comportamenti “virtuosi” e a vivere quasi in totale isolamento. #iorestoacasa è ora più che mai da rispettare per salvaguardare la salute di tutti noi. La buona notizia è che anche la moda sostiene questa lotta e Giorgio Armani fa una grande donazione agli ospedali italiani. La donazione è stata devoluta agli ospedali Sacco, San Raffaele e Spallanzani e andrà a sostenere gli sforzi della protezione civile. Questi passi importanti non solo servono per sostenere l’Italia in un momento di urgenza, ma anche per sostenere tutto il paese. A presto. Questo ed altro su Instagram @Anna_Spampinato_blogueur
MASTER OF SENSUALITY
Walter Chiapponi with a respectable pedigree that goes from Armani to Prada to Bottega Veneta – at the helm of Tod’s and T Factory, the creative laboratory wanted by Diego Della Valle to create thought and action around the brand. It is an intelligent debut, not at all screamed and well placed. Not a disruption, to use the hateful neologism, but an evolution that focusing on ideas of good taste and classicism affirms a precise identity, Italian in tone and execution, but not at all cramped. “I wanted to bring some sensuality to the Tod’s world, which in the past I found quite cold” explains Chiapponi, who, never blatant, obtains the effect with subtlety: discovering a little skin with short skirts; giving the coats a pleasant hand. Create a wardrobe of indispensable pieces, and invite to play with it. It does not make fashion with a capital M, and the choice of a refined but not rinuciatario undertone rewards it. The message is clear: far from trends.
