Food and Drink, Italians do it better

Brocche Fondenti, Chocolate Nails

They nailed it! Chocolate! Really, truly they have us totally figured out. The Brocche Fondenti Chocolate Nails by Monica Maggi, Pippo Marino and Giangi Caffio are a delectable chocolate design involving our two most greatest loves: dessert and backpacking. It’s an ode to the brocca which is an Italian nail used for hiking boots handmade at  Valle di Ledro. Their heads can decorate a cake top, its pointed end plunges into the layers beneath the frosting. Yum!

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
