		<description><![CDATA[How do you capture the essence of life in Abruzzo?  Is it the people that live here, the animals, its hill-top villages &#038; towns?   It could be the portrayal of its contrasting Adriatic coastline against the rugged Gran Sasso &#038; smooth Majella Mountains. Life here is organic &#038; seasonal, hard but happy. Perhaps it is its peace and all encompassing beauty that makes everyone become so passionate about Abruzzo that they long to return to even when far away.]]></description>

Rather than love, it’s a little overtaken by politics &#038; sports but there is a lovely biscuit blog to check and cook for a special one, or to treat yourself to if you are single.  Our attention was drawn to them by some comments on how one type of biscotti were called "bocca di 'dama," or, literally, “the lady's mouth” in Abruzzo  – which we think is just perfect for Valentine’s Day!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week The Guardian printed a travel article about skiing in Abruzzo, fantastic for getting a journalist out beyond the Alps and profiling Abruzzo as a good place to ski, but its introduction defining ‘Abruzzo one of Italy’s poorest regions’ triggered tremors of consternation amongst many in Abruzzo and those around the world who know &#038; love the region.  It prompted many to wonder where the stats were to support such a statement and what was the context of ‘poorest region’?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life in Abruzzo have created a set of 21 charity Christmas cards to raise money for the small rural farming village of Bascianella whose church of S. Pietro was badly damaged after the L’Aquila earthquake of April 2009.  Although just 30km away from the epicentre, the village has not been listed by the government for receiving funds, therefore without any external assistance the likelihood of this beautiful little church and focal point of village life being restored is unlikely.  We debated long &#038; hard who to give the monies we raise this Christmas after the L’Aquila Earthquake, and the most direct way without incurring any ‘charity’ or admin costs was raising funds for this audited project.]]></description>
