LAZIO, ITALY
An image from almost nine years ago, on New Year's Eve 2015 in Lazio, Italy.
Sunset on the shore of one of the lakes in that area (I don't even remember which one exactly).
We were in Lazio to spend the last days of 2015 and the first of 2016 in our favorite country.
For the evening and midnight, we had booked a table (well, not really a private table, but two places at a long communal table) in a cute winebar in Viterbo, where we were staying. The winebar organized a wintery barbeque with outdoor seating, good simple food and great wines
It was a place we had found in "Osterie d'Italia" the guide of "Slow Food Editore", the Italian version of a culinary guide, but with emphasis on local produce and reasonable prices (if a restaurant becomes too expensive, it gets kicked out of the guide).
I remember we had a wonderful evening there, meeting new people (a former Italian soccer goalkeeper turned soccer manager and team coach, and his younger wife became our best friends for one evening).
But before we headed back into Viterbo for that feast, we spent the sunset hour of our car drive with a glass of prosecco in a plastic cup, on the shore of one of the lakes.
A perfect prelude to a memorable new year's eve.
