more than eating a dish of creamy gelato in front of the fountain in Piazza Obelisco while discussing French and Italian wines\u2026.. and ..since the discussion is in Italy with only Italians\u2026 favoritism slanted to the wines of Italy..<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marialiberati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/tagliacozzo-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

heated discussion continues..and I try to concentrate on the smooth, creamy glob of chocolate sliding down my throat, and the medieval architecture of teh buildings in view\u2026 almost not paying any attention to the discussion that is well in progress..<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marialiberati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/tagliacozzo-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-2166\" title=\"tagliacozzo 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marialiberati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/tagliacozzo-2-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nLet\u2019s just say that the conclusion was that Italian wines have an edge over French wines because of the superior quality of the Italian grapes, since climate is more favorable to grow grapes in Italy..,,grapes grown in France tend to be bitter\u2026Italian grapes are sweeter..French tend to aromatize their wines.they have to because the grapes are bitter..Italian wines are made without anything added..just real grapes\u2026<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marialiberati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/gelato-con-pesche.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-2167\" title=\"gelato con pesche\"

\/>\nAnyway the perfect way to cool the discussion was to turn all thoughts onto the dishes of gelato we were at this point halfway through..after a few more spoonfuls who could think about anything else..our taste buds\u00a0 were drunk with the intensity of the flavor..and the discussion turned to which flavor is the best and where the best gelato places were\u2026.even a subject that cool got a little heated since Italians are passionate about their gelato also\u2026well what is it that they are not passionate about??<br \/>\nBut the discussion all of a sudden stopped as everyone quietly concentrated\u00a0 on finishing their dish\u2026every last drop..and everything was forgotten..and we joined everyone for our evening walk around the piazza..and an evening of\u00a0 intent discussion ended cool, relaxed and satiated..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 copyright 2010 Maria Liberati A cool August night in the piazza in Tagliacozzo and nothing soothes the
