Stopping in at one of my fave places in Venice (I first came here 46 years ago!) for an ombra bianco or a spritz con Aperol and some tasty cicchetti. [Linking back to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.] |

Looks to be lovely refreshments. I will drink to that.
ReplyDeleteShades of my favorite Venetian detective, Commissario Guido Brunetti (Donna Leon). Believe this is where I first read about a spritz and cicchetti. Your trip sounded marvelous!
ReplyDeleteLove Commissario Brunetti! Just finished the latest (Earthly Remains) before I landed in Venice.
DeleteAt one point several years ago, on Colin Firth's Wikipedia page, under filmography, it showed that he was scheduled to play the beloved Commissario in a planned movie, but alas, the role of King George came along and the Commissario went down the tube. I envision Colin Firth as the perfect actor to play that role (he's even fluent in Italian), and now as each new book comes out (I have read every one of them), Colin Firth's is the face I see as I'm reading. Too bad Ms. Leon only writes one book per year, but it's always a book to look forward to.
