Italian is one of the
most beautiful of the Romance languages. It’s lyrical, with softly lilting
words, wherein each phrase and sentence almost seems like a song.

At the same
time, Italian food is known around the world to be some of the most delicious and
savory. Who doesn’t enjoy a slice of pizza from a pizzeria, a plate of carbonara
pasta from a trattoria, a slice of mozarrella cheese or a cup of cappuccino? To
celebrate, we bring out a bottle of Spumante and make a toast!
You don’t
have to be a prima donna or “first
lady” to enjoy Italian food and even a diva
to be hard pressed to complain about a serving of tiramisu. Italian cuisine
is simple yet highly flavorful and is certainly not a fiasco or failure. No wonder it has taken the world by storm, appealing
to people of all ages.
Italians
didn’t just give us delicious pizza, pasta and gelato. Many English words have their
roots from various Italian words. It’s not surprising then that the English
loan words in Italian often relate to items of beauty, such as art, music,
architecture and most especially, food!
