We thought we’d start this edition of Brew News, our third week featuring Italy and our Italian selections, with one minute and one second of passion with Francesca Lavazza, great granddaughter of Luigi Lavazza, founder of the company that bears his name.

… The next three don’t:

AND they are all available and the first one is Perfetto! Matches made in heaven don’t you think? If you like these three matches, you might like our six pairs in July, 2016.

In Walkopedia’s top 100 walks on earth, Italy’s Dolomite mountain range, in the country’s northeast, comes is one of the top five, in part because of its eight breathtaking trails called alte vie, dotted with huts called Rifugi.
The Dolomites’ highest peak is called Marmolada which, incidentally used to be on the border with Austria, next month’s Brew News Nation (September, 2016) — stay tuned and get your Lederhosen out of storage.

Marmolada — what you need to know:

1. At 3,343 m or 10,968 ft., Marmolada is almost 100 times taller than Gibbs Hill lighthouse (which is 36 m or 117 ft. high as we learned in the July 20, 206 edition of Brew News in France.)
2. Marmolada sounds a lot like the Italian word for marmalade, marmellata which all sounds like the Portuguese invention that you spread on toast when you’re enjoying one of our English Breakfast Teas or eat right out of the bottle after everyone else has gone to bed.
3. It’s also the name of a fun font from fontscafe.com.
