  • Italians are famous all over the world for their "Dolce Vita." But what does this phrase actually mean? La Dolce Vita is an attitude, a lifestyle that reconciles the frenetic, at times stressful rhythms of everyday life with the time to savour beauty, indulge in pleasures, and satisfy the senses. La Dolce Vita, literally "sweet life," is therefore a "good life," worth living no matter what: spending as much time as possible with our loved ones, whether family members, whom we deeply love and from whom we reluctantly part, or friends, the "family we choose." It is treating ourselves daily to good food, a cornerstone of our culture, which we not only prepare with passion but above all taste at leisure. It is enjoying the little pleasures of the world, like wine and music, without ever exaggerating, but instead seeking that perfect compromise that the poet Horace called "aurea mediocritas": the golden moderation.
