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.

- Getting a taste of Vercelli
Lazy morning followed by a great burger for lunch. Vercelli is a very pretty city with many beautiful old buildings with wrought iron balconies and towers, SO many towers. Adding to the charm was a walking/biking path around the old town. It’s lined with double and quadruple rows of giant chestnut and linden trees and planted with blooming columbines, roses, guara, hosta and more. We took a long walk then hung out on our balcony enjoying wine, nuts and olives. Dinner was a disappointment. Rookie mistake of ordering cod while forgetting that it is never fresh cod, always reconstituted salt cod.
