Amoraの貸別荘

Alla scoperta della bellezza di Bergamo... Con i pennelli in mano! L'esperienza è un'occasione per immergersi nelle suggestioni di Città Alta in un modo diverso dal solito... Andremo infatti a dipingere all'aria aperta come facevano i pittori di una volta, per lasciarci affascinare dallo skyline della città, dalle guglie delle chiese o dalle silouhette degli alberi: dalle Mura Venete di Città Alta (patrimonio Unesco) sceglieremo lo scorcio migliore e ci metteremo all'opera, per realizzare il tuo quadro step by step! Io ti fornirò le regole per creare una buona composizione - dalla regola dei terzi al bilanciamento di vuoti e pieni - e ti spiegherò passo dopo passo come miscelare e stendere i colori e come riportare sulla tela ciò che vedi. Dipingeremo su piccoli pannelli di legno o tele con colori acrilici che asciugano rapidamente: alla fine dell'esperienza, potrai portarti a casa la tua opera come ricordo! Altre cose da tenere a mente Dipingeremo su piccoli pannelli o tele leggere e non ingombranti (18x24 cm/7x9 inch), che saranno imballati con carta e potete portare tranquillamente a casa. Se ci sarà cattivo tempo dipingeremo comunque in una parte protetta.

We'll have a 1 hour photo shoot in the most beautiful part of my hometown Bergamo: Città Alta (upper city). We will meet in Porta San Giacomo, the most beautiful entrance of the venetian walls that surround the upper city, where you'll see an amazing panorama of Città Bassa (lower city). We'll continue through the old medieval town, where you'll see Piazza Vecchia and the Duomo di Sant'Alessandro. Last pictures will be taken at "La Rocca", a fortress with a beautiful park and a wonderful view of Bergamo skyline. Other things to note In case of heavy rain we'll try to move the photoshoot to a better moment. In case you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Meet me at my house in central Bergamo. Over a drink and snack, we first chat about the daily menu and get to know each other. You are then going to prepare some typical Italian recipes, using the freshest seasonal ingredients possible, and then basic cooking techniques to simply enhance the natural flavour of the food. We could prepare fresh hand-made pasta such as tagliatelle, casoncelli, lasagna and different sauces which are easy to do again at home (bolognese, pesto, fish sauce). As an alternative, if you don't like pasta, we could prepare some traditional meat and seafood dishes or yeast products (pizza, focaccia, panzerotti, gnocco fritto) The menu also includes: - Welcome drinks (prosecco and snacks) - Starters (cheeses, salami and vegetables) - Wine - Dessert: Sicilian cannoli, tiramisu, panna cotta, babà with limoncello, strudel or profiteroles - Coffee and liqueurs After 2-3 hours of teamwork, we can enjoy our masterpieces at dinner accompanied with good Italian wine. During the dinner, I will tell you more about the origin and history of the different dishes and explain the wine choice for dinner. We finish the dinner or lunch with good Italian liquor (grappa, limoncello, liquirizia, amaro,...) and an espresso coffee. Other things to note The courses are held in a totally practical way: I show the steps to follow and you replicate the dishes on the menu at their own cooking station. On-demand, larger groups ( +than 6) are accepted.

We will eat a lot, so come hungry and with an empty stomach! We will taste some of the following specialities (according to products' seasonal availability): Aperitivo with glass of Valcalepio - the traditional aperitivo Bergamasco, composed of toasted bread slices topped with local garnishments, sided by a glass of Valcalepio red wine, directly from the hills surrounding Bergamo and famous for the sweetness of their products. Casoncelli: handmade pasta, shaped as a half-fool moon, created with a mixture of flours, filled with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beef meat, pork meat, and so much more; Foiade: it is the Sunday dish of the local tradition. Every small village around Bergamo has its own type of flour, favourite pasta shape and favourite topping; Polenta with lard and cheese - the centuries-old dish composed of corn flour, accompanied by local lard slices in order to make the dish creamier or, in alternative topped with savoury cheese from the nearby valleys. Grilled handmade bread with taleggio cheese - A rustic loaf is topped with the local, tasty taleggio cheese and caramelized golden onions. Gelato "stracciatella" flavour, which was indeed invented in Bergamo! We'll enjoy it in the very shop who created it 60 years ago; Espresso coffee PRIVATE TOURS AVAILABLE! CONTACT US. PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE TOUR WILL BE HELD IN ITALIAN/ENGLISH. CONTACT US FOR OTHER LANGU
