Sweet life in Abruzzo
logo_onlyinabruzzo low def.jpgOnlyinabruzzo.com is launching a new website that holds three magnificent tours of Abruzzo, managed by Abruzzo Cibus Culinary Tours and by Di Fonzo Viaggi Tour Operator. Di Fonzo will provide top of the line transportation. Abruzzo Cibus Culinary Tours is the only full time cooking school in the Abruzzo region of Italy and founder Massimo Criscio has chosen three restaurants in the United States to promote these tours : “Mario’s Via Abruzzi” in Rochester, NY on November 17th  2008
“Tre scalini” Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA on November 23rd 2008
“Le Virtu” Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA on November 24th 2008

The three separate tours displayed on the ONLYINABRUZZO.COM website are very different from each other but they all are great ways of discovering this wonderful region. One person can join a “Deluxe Culinary Tour”  if interested in cooking. In case somebody would like to discover the whole region with a complete excursion, the “Grande Turismo Tour” is the way to go. Finally the “Geneology Tour” will give you an opportunity to go back to your roots, in case you have an Abruzzese descent. 
cooking having fun.jpg The cooking experiences take place in the family's exclusive Palazzo Tour d'Eau in Carunchio, province of Chieti, which also offers a private base and six rooms for a longer holiday in Abruzzo.   Your guides in the kitchen are the talented and experienced chefs Cheryle Molino and Dino Paganelli who will teach you the secrets of Abruzzo mountain cuisine, homemade 'guitar' pasta and exquisite 'parrozzo' dessert.  Unlike many culinary classes and food holidays in Italy, Abruzzo Cibus has built a special, modern demonstration kitchen. Nevertheless, all the delicious recipes can be easily made back home.  
Say's Massimo: 'In 2004, while working for a big company in corporate America, I decided to head back to my roots on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. As I have always loved entertaining guests and sharing my passion of good food and wine with friends and family, I decided to take the dream a step further. We have created a warm, welcoming, family atmosphere where guests can really feel at ease and have a real Italian experience far from the hassles of commercial tourism'.  

Meet Massimo at the events scheduled at the three restaurants or arrange a meeting during his travel time in the US and Canada between November 7th and November 28th. 

rocca calascio.jpgABOUT THE AREA  
Abruzzo will surprise you with all it has to offer! Clean beaches and a turquoise blue sea, fantastic lakes, amazing mountains, medieval hilltop towns, peaceful rivers, woods and more. With just less than an hour’s drive, any of these enticing destinations is easy to reach. Abruzzo offers an ideal climate in each of our four full seasons, so visitors have something to enjoy all year long. This region is very unique because of the authentic “best of Italy” visitors can experience here. The only thing missing in this not-very-popular region is the recognition. Abruzzo is off the beaten path and has not become a popular “brand name” yet. But people that come to Abruzzo are amazed by the beauty and the uniqueness of this region and they wonder why there is so little tourism here!
