“Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy”.
Bertrand Russell
Local Expert: The third Charming Certificate 2013

So wrote Mr Russel a few dozens of years ago. Italy was different, the world was different, the way of travelling was different. And yet, some things have not changed.
Maybe the colors, the food, the Italian way of living or simply the smells. Something remained the same if lots (and we say: really a lot!) of people all over the world have decided to write about Italy.
Each of them has been captured by the essence of a region, of a city, of a way of celebrate the joy of being part of a community, linked by well-established traditions and relationships.
Our “Local expert and Italy Ambassador” has the aim to find people that tell their “Italian stories” in the best way in their blogs and to award them with our Charming Certificate. A symbolic prize to tell them “hey, great job!” And to tell other readers “hey, if you love Italy, this blog is a good one!”.
In this third edition of the Charming Certificate (did you miss the first certificate and the second certificate? Check them out!) we suggest you four great blogs dealing with food, the Eternal City and the land of peperoncino…
