Radicchioblog is going to be an interactive space where we can exchange ideas with our members, readers, and friends. We want to create an area where everything is discussed, somewhat like sitting around a table with friends over good food and wine. We chose Radicchio as a name because it is a quintessentially Italian vegetable which can be found in certain regions of the country, specifically the Veneto.
Radicchio is beautiful and brings color and life to any garden where it grows or dish where it is served. It conveys something exotic and special while it is at the same time familiar. Radicchio, therefore, is a symbol to us of all things Italian, an ancient and vegetable which offers hours of pleasure in a variety of ways. We hope this blog will provide the same.
Radicchioblog is a blog by Alta Cucina, an epicurean society for those who want to explore, share, and celebrate premium Italian cuisine and wines. Altacucina has recently launched an online store and opened an event space on 38th street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan.

Ciao,
my name is Eleonora and I am an American-born, Italian-raised global epicurean; food & wine connoisseur, home cook, freelance writer, film industry script supervisor and travel enthusiast.
I live in Rome and I am currently editing the final draft of my Italian cuisine/lifestyle manuscript; and obtaining Sommelier certification with Associazione Italiana Sommelier.
I follow Alta Cucina on Twitter and visit Radicchio on a regular basis. I very much appreciate what Alta Cucina is doing to promote and salvage authentic Italian cookery art and traditions overseas. Your views are very much in tune with mine, so I was wondering if I could be included in your impressive blogroll. Most of my 300 plus readers live in the continental US, and many of them in New York. Mutual link exchange and visibility could benefit both our programs and increase exposure to our advantage.
Please take the time to visit my three blogs, and sample the food-writing and topics examined:
AGLIO, OLIO & PEPERONCINO a food/lifestyle blog which focuses on Italian cuisine, food history, travel musings and local hang-outs. http://agliooliopeperoncino.blogspot.com
ROMA EVERY DAY a daily photoblog featuring images of the Eternal City posted every day. http://romatuttigg.blogspot.com
FORCHETTINE written in Italian; Italian food-lover’s online guide in which I review restaurant facilities and regional specialties in Italy. http://forchettine.blogspot.com
Thank you for your kind attention,
Eleonora Baldwin

Dear Bloggers,
good morning from Tuscany, Italy! I started a blog on Tuscan mountains of Pistoia area, fantastic place for those who love skiing, biking, and do all outdoor activiities.
Pistoia of course is a beautiful art city, and its surroundings are a piece of authentic Tuscany you would love. The local food is still very traditional, based on mushrooms, chestnut flower, meat, sheep cheese…..and all its variations….
I linked your blogs to ours, I would appreciate if you would do the same! Let’s keep in touch!
Kind regards
Rosanna Capitani
