Buongiorno.

Welcome to Laboratorio Umbria or The Umbria Workshop. A place for living life in Italy.

And then there is the food...

And then there is the food...

We haven’t even started talking food. But Rosa dei Venti is gone.

Italian food is almost always ranked #1 in the world.

Here you have your own olive oil and a fig tree so big that is believed to be 300 years old.
When locals come to our house, they reach up, pick a fig to enjoy.

Then there are the tomatoes from the garden that are like nothing else I’ve tasted. It is in this clay soil that the magic happens. “Is that what a tomato is suppose to taste like?

And, we haven’t even begun to talk about the best pizza I have ever tasted is around the corner, in the next village here in Umbria. OMG.
