San Matteo Della Decima: Linda's Family Church

We have much to tell about Linda's visit to her mother's mother's (maternal grandmother) Church. This part needs to lead the many beyond all expectations experiences.

On Friday we asked the parish priest if we could arrange for a Mass to be said for Linda's family. We understood we would not be there at the time but we still would like to do it. The priest, after couciltation, told us he would be pleased to fulfill our request. And, the Mass would be done this Sunday at 10:00 AM. We were stuned. We had to ask later of one of his assistants to ensure we understood correctly.

So, tomorrow we are attending 10:00 AM Mass at San Matteo della Decima. A Mass that will be said on behalf of Linda's family. A Mass we are told that is normally attended by 800 parishioners.

Our Food Tour

Our food tour was very private; it was just us and the guide really personalized it to what we (Linda) wanted. To me it was fascinating and really showed Linda's extensive food knowledge. Linda discussed with our guide, Marcello Amadori, the regional differences in many Italian dishes, even the names. They covered Italian breads, cookies and pastries, pastas, vegetarian and lighter versions, and the importance of truly fresh.
