I'm lucky enough to live just less than an hour's drive from the border so we often pop over for lunch and once went for breakfast! Naples and Sardinia are currently top of my list, but there are so many places I still haven't been to and will never stop exploring this fabulous country.Phoebe @ Lou Messugohttp://www.loumessugo.com/en/blognoreply@blogger.com
