What they say about us:</h4>
<div class="speech-bubble" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I have dealt with Josephine and the Contented Traveller for over 20
happy years. To say they provide a quite exceptional service is an
understatement. They get you into places and events that you could only
dream of. The quality of the service and care of all my guests on all my
trips has simply been wonderful, totally first class. And I say this
ONLY because it was. If you want never to be forgotten travel, to places
that you would never think of on your own, then the Contented Traveller
and Josephine are made for you. Quite simply, I can't recommend the company and Josephine highly enough."</blockquote>

Carnival.</div>

without doubt, the spectacular Masked Ball at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta
on the last Sunday of Carnival, which for 2013 will be 10th February.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
Given Sicily's geographic situation, not too far from the coast of
North Africa, one imagines a barren land but nothing could be further
from the truth. Its hinterland, in the time of the ancient Romans, was
known as its 'bread basket'.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
Sicily is abundant in produce and, having been invaded by Greeks,
Romans, Arabs, Normans, Spanish and French, its varied cuisine reflects
this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.italia.it/fileadmin/src/img/gallery/regioni/sicilia/s100/Sicilia1-100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://www.italia.it/fileadmin/src/img/gallery/regioni/sicilia/s100/Sicilia1-100.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
The use of apricots, sugar, citrus, sweet melons, rice, saffron, raisins, nutmeg, clove, pepper, pine nuts, cinnamon (along with fried preparations) is a sign of Arab influences from the Arab domination of Sicily in the 10th and 11th centuries.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_cuisine#cite_note-1"></a> <br />

Later, the Spanish introduced numerous items from the New World, including cocoa, maize, peppers, turkey, and tomatoes. In Catania, on the east coast, initially settled by Greek colonists, fish, olives, broad beans, pistachio and fresh vegetables are preferred instead. Much of the island's cuisine encourages the use of fresh vegetables such as eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes, and fish such as tuna, sea bream, sea bass, cuttlefish, and swordfish. In Trapani in the extreme western corner of the island, North African influences are clear in the use of couscous.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; line-height: 20px;">This important date in the gastronomic calendar takes place each year in October in the Piemontese town of Alba and it is a wonderful experience to see this expensive commodity being traded.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; line-height: 20px;">Alba is at the heart of the scenic Langhe wine producing region of Italy where some of the most famous ‘reds’ are produced such as Barolo, Barbera, Barbaresco and Dolcetto.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; line-height: 20px;">This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know a little known area of Italy which is rich in produce such as chestnuts and truffles. Here you will find fine cheeses and salami and the many varieties of cakes and chocolate products made from the local hazelnuts.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Visit to the Truffle Fair in Alba, lovely medieval town in Piemonte, renowned capital of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">much sought after and horrendously expensive ‘white truffle’ – tartufo – tuber magnatum </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">pico .</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">To visit Alba at this time of year is magical since you drive through some of the most </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">glorious countryside, sometimes shrouded in a mystical mist.</span></div>
