Monreale

This is part of an amazing cathedral with the entire interior covered with mosaics.

Our time in Sicily has come to an end and TheCaperCaper will be shortly taking a break, however we do have a few more entires on our last farm near Palermo and our goodbye tour!

Genova

We had 2 hours to kill before embarking on a TWENTY. FOUR. HOUR. BOAT. JOURNEY. from Genova back to Palermo. So we whizzed through the town and were surprised with what we found - a beautifully intact, massive, medieval, port town. In our whistle-stop-tour we managed to navigate the labyrinth of an old town, dodge the hoards of scooter-ists, taste the local specialty - a biscuity focaccia, visit an impressive produce market and buy Sarah an amazing new pair of shoes. Very happy times.

Silvio

Due to the overwhelming success of TheCaperCaper in Italy we are legally obliged to dedicate 99% of advertising space with Silvio’s head. Here is the first instalment.

Sagra

Around August and September ‘Sagre’ take over Italy. Basically they’re festivals to honor local food traditions. They’re advertised on billboards all over town beforehand. We’re not anti-sagra but thought the idea was taken a little too far when dedicating one specifically to “festival of beef steak with porcini mushrooms”, and "pappardelle (flat wide pasta) with wild hare”.

Matteo and Laura get married + a to visit Milano

Love was in the air in September! Giovanni married Kriz in Rome and Matteo married Laura. Unfortunately someone didn’t charge the camera battery so we only have evidence of the latter. Sorry Gio! Bacione.

Leah & Enrico. See you in NYC xoxo

Umbria

Firenze.

We love Florence! There are a few too many tourists but the city swallows them up and what’s left behind is nice bars, nice people, nice clothes, nice people in nice clothes, impressive monuments, tacky leather markets, antique markets and overpriced water. Everyone should go to Florence.
