As a cat-lover this made me smile hugely. My best animal encounter in Venice was with a dog, though. My sister and I had lunch at a trattoria at the end of the Lista di Spagna, just where it meets Campo San Geremia. The owners dog sat beside us taking bits of meat we offered until there was nothing left. ‘Nothing left, all gone’ I said, but still he kept looking hopeful. Then I realised he was an Italian dog. ‘Finito!’ I declared, and he huffed off looking hugely disappointed. It’s so great to speak beginner’s Italian and be understood!

Select is a brand name. It’s the color of Campari but less bitter, and not as prevelent as the others. Keep an eye out and give it a try.

I have enjoyed spritz con bitter and con Apperol, but spritz select is new to me. Is select a brand name or half Aperol & Campari? Thank you for your notes from Venice. I miss it so.
