SYNOPSIS
~~~~~~~~~
'Porco Rosso' is an animation set in the late twenties, in Italy. It revolves around the life of a great ex-World War I Italian Pilot Fighter, called (surprisingly) 'Porco Rosso.' Although with great success and respect from his fellow people, Rosso is cursed and has to live his life with the face of a pig.
Rosso is certainly not retired from his days of work. Although he loves to lounge around in his secluded white-sanded beach, you will soon find out that he does not often get much time to spend his life there. As he still has his red monoplane - his pride and joy, Rosso makes his living as a bounty hunter; by helping the villagers and often tackling and confronting the unwanted sea pirates. Rosso is rewarded for collecting and recovering the values from the pirates.

I am not really a fan of shop bought pizzas finding the base sometimes has the taste and texture of soggy cardboard, and the toppings a bit stingy and never getting to the edge. A while back I tried Dr Oetker's Bistro range which were small lunchtime sized pizza baguettes, so upon my last visit to Sainsburys I purchased ...
Advantages: Must-go Italian city Disadvantages: No
In my last trip to Italy, I stayed in Florence for one and a half day. Let me share with you my fantastic experience of Florence.
Florence is the cultural capital in the medieval time, and the key player in the Renaissance movement. A small city it seems, but the home of some of the most famous people in history-Michaelanglo, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo etc, just to name a few.
Again with narrow streets and allys, our first stop was a demonstration of leather. Italian/Florentine leather is world famous and shops selling leather cloths and accessories are everywhere. Obviously, I didn't leave without getting some goods myself. After that, we had a walking tour with a local guide.
Best known of all Florence's treasures is the Ponte Vecchio. This glorious bridge was the only one spared by the German attacks in the second World ...
