Autumn is here and with Autumn in Italy brings cioccolata calda (Hot Chocolate)

Autumn or Autunno is one of my favorite seasons in Treviso.
Uva fragola from Vittorio’s garden in October.
Uva Fragola which translates to Strawberry grape got its name from the sweet pulp that it produces.
In Northern Italy – Veneto region
A few photos that I’ve taken over the past 3.5 years that I lived in Northern Italy.
Now, you’ll be able to see why Fall ( Autunno) is my favorite season in Italy.
Took this photo while walking along the Restera, 3 years ago.
Autumn sunsets while visiting the Montello.
These are “fragola” grapes from my neighbors yard.. They didn’t get much sun so they had a late ripening process. Took this photo in the end of October.
I took this photo yesterday, November first while having an evening stroll in Treviso. I love how the light hit the palazzina. Sunsets in November are just magical.
Homemade lasagna. The perfect comfort food for a chilly Autumn day.
The next couple of photos are from my friends in which I’ve had permission to share.

Autumn has arrived in Northern Italy. The days are shorter, nights are longer, temps have dropped significantly.. Chilly mornings to freezing evenings and as always the produce changes in the farmers market as well as the supermarket.
Out with the summer produce and in with the Autumn crops such as Pumpkins, pomegranate, wild mushrooms, and of course chestnuts.
Tis the season for roasted chestnuts.
Around every piazza throughout Italy you’ll find chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
It’s quite the Italian tradition.
You can also roast or bake them in the comfort and warmth in your own home.
Just remember to make an incision in them all before roasting or else they’ll explode.
And after give or take 15-20 minutes ( depending on how high the heat is) they’ll be finished. Put them in a towel to keep them warm until ready to eat.
It’s best to enjoy roasted chestnuts with a glass of red wine or beer.
Last Sunday night our friend Fabio was prepping and roasting chestnuts for a large group of friends.
Have you ever had roasted chestnuts before?
