Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- North to the land of rice
Raffaella made us a delicious frittata for breakfast with vegetables we’d cooked last night. Said goodbye to the lovely couple from San Diego and then to Raffaella and headed north. We left the hilly, wine-making part of the Piedmont region and entered the flat rice producing area. Picnic lunch in a shady courtyard in Cella Monte then on to Vercelli for two nights. Our large room had a balcony overlooking the main town square with arcades on all four sides. Took a long walk then had a delicious dinner at one of the several restaurants on the square.
