E45: Marco and the leaning tower of Pisa and the Piazza dei Miracoli and the quaint town of Lucca
TE Talks! History, Travel, and All Things Italian
Join Rob and Marco as the have a fascinating chat about so much more than just the leaning tower. Did you know that it isn't a tower all by itself? It is a bell tower for the cathedral of Pisa and the whole complex of Church, Bell Tower, Covered Cemetery and Baptistery is truly unique not only in Tuscany but all of Italy. Marco does such a splendid job of enlightening anyone who listens that you can get so much more when you visit the area. Then he and Rob discuss how Lucca was the only tuscan town to never be conquered by Florence and that it is still a delightful hidden gem where you can interact with the Tuscan locals and it is also perfect base of operations for when you want to stay and truly explore Tuscany for a week or two. It is pretty close to everything!

E43: Sergio Dondoli World Famous Gelataio talks about his passion for San Gimignano and why Gelato is not Ice Cream!
TE Talks! History, Travel, and All Things Italian
Join Rob as he has a wonderful conversation with Sergio Dondoli winner of multiple awards for creating some of the most outstanding flavors ever created for Gelato. They talk about how he became so well known after multiple visits from Tony Blair and how he creates such beautiful mixes of flavors often using ingredients found in Tuscany like Rosemary and Lavender. Sergio also recounts to Rob the history of the beautiful town of San Gimignano and its towers and why saffron is such an important ingredient in his world famous flavor: Crema di Santafina di San Gimignano. Most importantly, he gives the most thorough answer to why Gelato should never be considered ice cream and how one can easily tell what is the difference.

E07 B: The Torlonia Family, Great Patrons of the Arts or Fascist Supporters or Both with Guia
TE Talks! History, Travel, and All Things Italian
Listen in to an unforgettable conversation between Guia and Rob talking about the history of the Torlonia family, how they rose up in wealth during the 1700 and 1800's and what they had to do to be accepted into the nobility of Rome. A daunting challenge especially since they never had a Pope in their family. This is a lovely two part podcast where we delve into the evolution and history of how this family gained extraordinary wealth. They amassed one of the greatest collections of antiquities in history and even shared it with the people of Rome to compete with the Vatican and Capitoline museums. Then their association with Mussolini and Fascism created problems for them and their collection was sequestered from public view for almost 50 years, until now. (Part 2)
