Charleston visits Spoleto... what a day!
What a wonderful way to spend a Friday! "Friends are strangers you have yet to meet" could not be a more appropriate quote to sum up our day with the delegation from Charleston, South Carolina.
At 11 AM, we met a fantastic group of fun and friendly people from Spoleto's Sister City. And it was an amazing day. We called it an aperitivo...a treat to wake up one's hunger. I fell in love with Spoleto in one January afternoon and I think the same magical spell was cast upon today's visitors.
In the short amount of time we had together, we saw and did some incredible things: sightseeing at the Rocca and Ponte; a meeting with City and business officials; an abundant and delicious lunch at one of our favorite spots- Sabatini's; wine and art at the Anna Mahler Project Space; a tour of the Archeological Museum; photos and awe at the Teatro Nuovo (1864) concluding in a sumptuous dinner at Il Tartufo. It felt like a day with old friends.
