What a lovely, thoughtful, post about Molise💛. Thank you for the mention. Did you intend to be formal, using my last name, or did you think my last name is my first name? 😉

Your posts are informative and important! Gave me a lot to think about, in a productive way, rather than my usual spiral worrying about the future of tourism in Molise

Thanks, Chandi! And yup that’s a habit that I’ve kept from formal writing in school 😆 I just do it automatically

I enjoyed reading this. The peppers and eggs dish is right up my alley. I have the same concerns about Abruzzo, as well as Molise, as my paternal grandmother was from Isernia and it is a breathtakingly beautiful region. The appeal of these two lesser known regions is their natural beauty, their enduring traditions, and their relative lack of crowds (except for the beaches in summer). I heard that Stanley Tucci was in Abruzzo filming an episode of his show, and I have very mixed feelings about that.

I would have mixed feelings, too! But either way, it’s very clear that there is an effort to promote the regions coming from internal administration/committees. We can only hope that whatever is done, is done with intention. Thank you for reading and sharing 🩵 (the pepper and egg dish is delicious!)
