Ciao a tutti and Howdy Ags!
We hope this message finds you well as we look forward to fall and hopefully a break from the summer heat soon.
In this month’s newsletter, we’ve packed in several stories to help close out the summer and look forward to the fall and harvest season:
Featured Articles: We take a closer look at the connection between Texas and the discovery of St. Peter’s bones. We slow down and appreciate The Many Vistas in Venice. We introduce you to a pepper that looks like a tomato and can even resemble a small pumpkin. When you taste them you will come to find out why the Rossa di Rotonda Pepper is so amazingly delicious.We also look at The Legacy of Ancient Italian Recipes and how they influence Italian cooking today.Finally, we explore the sweet balance between coffee and desert through the sweet indulgence of an Affogato. Travel Spotlight: Take a close look at the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy, in the far northeast corner, bounded by the borders with Austria and Slovenia to the north and east respectively. The DOC designation which covers the whole area is known either as Friuli, or by the longer name. Whatever you call it, it is a beautiful area and well worth a visit.Recipes: We have a wonderful new recipe this month, Pasta Alla Norma. It’s a wonderful Sicilian recipe that’s worth a try. Your tastebuds will thank you.
TAMU Highlights: Football season has begun so in our Campus Remembered – we look at Kyle Field. Additionally, we have a Campus Update with a few articles and please pay attention to the Pass It Back article on page 9. As everyone will recall our little club raised the most funds on Pass It Back Day last year and I hope we can do the same this year. Pass It Back Day is on September 10 this month. Please let’s all Step Forward – To Pass It Back. Aggie Sports Update, there’s a lot going on with the fall sports underway and a few other Texas Tidbits along the way.
Plus, much more.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and we hope you enjoy reading this month’s newsletter and discover what’s happening in Italy, our club and Texas A&M.
Talk with each of you soon. Be sure to follow the club on Instagram, be well and thanks for everyone’s continued support.
Ciao and Gig’em!
