I had been to the Basilica of Saint Francis before but this tour that Marcello arranged is something no tourist on their own could ever experience.  He arranged the tour to be guided by Friar Noel.  Friar Noel is an American.  He was able  to explain the building and frescoes.  We were taken into the private quarters for a look at how the monks live in this beautiful basilica.
The family of the farmer invited us to their farm one afternoon. We were treated to a truffle hunt with his dog, Lieca, who was teaching her puppy, Moretta how to hunt.  Along the way we hear a cow bellowing and came across her and a new born calf.  All of that was such a treat, but the day wasn’t over – we then had the privilege of sitting down with their family to enjoy a fantastic lunch complete with truffles from our hunt.

Great time in Umbria

Marcello, we met several years ago when my husband and I took your cooking school in Umbria.  Sorry that it took me so long to write to say what a great time we had and it was so fun to meet you.  If you remember, it was just the 2 of us and you, as your other guests cancelled at the last minute.  I still have very fond memories of that trip.  ...Read more

Marcello, we met several years ago when my husband and I took your cooking school in Umbria.  Sorry that it took me so long to write to say what a great time we had and it was so fun to meet you.  If you remember, it was just the 2 of us and you, as your other guests cancelled at the last minute.  I still have very fond memories of that trip.  I’m hoping that this e-mail finds you well.  I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been thinking of you!
