Belluno

I have already written about Belluno here, it was Summer then (still, have a look, it is a very charming city!), and as I did post quite a few photos already, today I will just post one single photo, one that expresses how cold it was!

Bella Belluno

Belluno is one of the cutest cities ever.

Surrounded by the Dolomite Mountains

its name derives from the Celtic language:

belo-donum, which means splendid hill.

It is small (population 35,000), elegant,

quiet, and hardly any tourists around!

In a bakery I got some traditional breads (including pumpkin bread) and then Kiffel, a sort of savoury croissant, typical of the area. In German the kiffel are called Kipfels, I found a recipe here, I have to say that the ones I got in Belluno were superb, with linseed and sunflower seeds, if I'll have time I will try to make them one day...one day... :-)

Or maybe I'll go back to Belluno!
