Ciao a tutti!
We hope this message finds you well as we settle into the heart of summer’s warmth and relaxation. The so-called “dog days of summer” are upon us, and while the days are long and the sun is strong, it’s the perfect time to take a break and read all about the Italy A&M Club.

In this month’s newsletter, we’ve packed in plenty to keep your summer vibrant:

Featured Articles: We take a closer look at the Life in The Fast Lane as we explore the history and iconic brand of Ferrari. One thing that we have seen that is a sign of the times is The Rising Costs of Gelato. We look at the reasons why this is happening and search out where to find the best gelato for reasonable prices. As the temperatures rise, the Chiena Water Festival is a wonderful way to cool off. And if you haven’t heard of Bitto Storico, we will introduce you to the most expensive cheese in Italy.

Travel Spotlight: Take a close look at the Lombardia (Lombardy) regionMilan, the lakes, culture, fashion, food and natural beauty all wrapped into one.

Recipes: We have two new recipes this month. The first is a wonderful dessert that is easy to make and even better to enjoy, with our Panna Cotta ai Frutti di Bosco. Then we have a wonderful grilled chicken dish that we know you will enjoy with our Calabrian Pepper Pesto Grilled Chicken. So next time you have the grill fired up, try this tasty dish and wow everyone with your culinary abilities.

TAMU Highlights: Meet Alice Marini ’25, in our Ask and Italy Ag segment. In our Campus Remembered – we look at the Memorial Student Center (MSC)Additionally, we have a Campus Update (be sure to read about James W. Perkins ’13 who is a pilot in the Navy and flies with the Blue Angels. James was born in Pordenone, Italy!), Aggie Sports Update and a few other Texas Tidbits along the way.
