We were collected in the Piazza at 10 am by Floriana for our cooking class. She drove us to her mammas house and we had coffee , pecorino cheese to be eaten with pear and honey, a type of salami. Then we made pasta from scratch without any pasta machines and cooked a bolognase sauce (very different from what I do at home).
Next was a crumbled turkey and a vegetable dish, then chocolate biscoti. The husband a and son, koined us then to consume it all. Of course we had to try their homemade limoncelo and myrtle liqueur. A huge meal but normal for them. It felt like we had just spent the day with their family. Very authentic italian feel. When that had finished we were in time to see the procession into town for the celebration if a piece of the previous popes garment coming to town. Celebrations began at 3.30 and continued until 7.30pm concluding with a mass in the Piazza, all of which we could hear and see from the window of our apartment through an archway.
