A relaxed start in Gallipoli<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get off to a bad start in Italy, you\u2019ve basically already lost the day. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you start it properly, you\u2019ll be standing at a bar at half past seven, drinking an espresso in two sips, and afterwards you\u2019ll be a different person. An Italian morning isn\u2019t just a routine. It\u2019s a ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apulia: a trendy destination<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bar as the beat-setter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Italy, when you say \u2018bar\u2019, you\u2019re not talking about alcohol \u2013 but the heart of the morning. This is where you bump into your neighbour, the paper boy, the bloke from the third floor. Nobody stays long. You stand, have a drink, have a quick chat, and leave. All this before eight o\u2019clock, without any rush, without any noise. The bar sets the tone \u2013 and it\u2019s surprisingly quiet. Outside, the city is waking up; inside, the machine is running; and somewhere between the first hiss of the espresso and the last bite of the cornetto, the course of the day is decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Italians really get up to on the beach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cornetto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Softer than the French original, sweeter, lighter. Held in one hand, a coffee cup in the other. That was breakfast. No porridge, no avocado, no elaborate ritual. If you like, you can fill it with jam or cream. If you don\u2019t, leave it empty. What matters isn\u2019t the Cornetto itself \u2013 but the moment you eat it. Standing up, relaxed, with no plans for the next hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
