		<description><![CDATA[These fat white flakes turned to slush almost immediately, and by Friday will be distant memory, hopefully. In the meantime, we&#8217;ll huddle up with a nice bowl of zuppa di lenticchie (lentil soup), pasta e fagioli, polenta con ragù, or, heck, polenta with anything&#8230;
Did I mention, it&#8217;s March? March?

		<description><![CDATA[
 Friuli is famous for its spectacular whites. In fact, anytime anyone tells me they don&#8217;t really care for white wine, my response is usually &#8220;Yes, you do,&#8221; while handing them a Tocai or Ribolla or Chardonnay or Malvasia or a blend from Isonzo or Collio or the Colli Orientali. There is a pause, and [...]]]></description>

Judging by the crowds that lined bridges as well as the number of participating boats and rowers, the Corteo Carnevale isbecoming almost as popular as the Vogalonga.
This costumed procession is held on the first weekend of the two-week long Carnevale, open to anyone and everyone that knows how to row Venetian-style and can get their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;So what&#8217;s a battipali,&#8221; you ask? &#8220;A human pile-driver,&#8221; might be the translated response.
Ever wonder how the piles that define Venetian parking places were once driven into the soft canal bed? (When you didn&#8217;t have the mechanized version handy, I mean.)
Easy: you found a big strong he-man, gave him an attrezzatura (implement) created just for [...]]]></description>

This is not an official Comune sporting event, but rather annual festivity organized by the historic Cannotieri Bucintoro (a rowing club founded in 1882).
Just for the heck of it, five males over [...]]]></description>

Half of the revellers came from the mainland, the Comune surmised; the other half were locals and in-town lodgers. From the photos it looks like most donned [...]]]></description>

A friend from Greece (Mama Mia was shot on her island, for heaven&#8217;s sake) just sent me this photo. What it has to do with New Year&#8217;s, I&#8217;m not sure, but aren&#8217;t they the cutest things?

This cold. Walk-from-Fondamente-Nove-to-Murano cold.

1929 was a harsh winter for all of Europe&#8230;Venice included. A voga friend uploaded this archival video of Frozen Venice; they&#8217;d not experienced anything like it for over 100 years. (Check his YouTube site for more historic footage.)
Can you spot the vaporetto di una volta, from [...]]]></description>
