“Harry’s Bar in Venice, founded by Guiseppe Cipriani, claims to have invented the famous Bellini cocktail. Well, if it’s true we’ll never know for sure and fact is that today, Harry’s Bar is a horrid tourist-infested tiny and overcrowded place in central Venice, but the Cipriani group has other places, which are much nicer, like Harry’s Dolci on Giudecca! They have a calm outdoor area right next to the water from where the view is sublime and you can refresh yourself with a light seafood dish or pasta and a glass of bubbly! La dolce vita!
And: they also produce their own pasta. Of course.
The artist-sculptor Carl Milles and his Austrian wife Olga bought a plot in Stockholm’s suburb Lidingö in 1906 and had an italian-style villa built there in 1908, which got constantly enlarged over the years and later on turned into a museum now known as Millesgården. It is a place as picturesque as it is unique and a visit can only be highly recommended to every visitor of Stockholm!
