#magazine Bernardino Luini Bernardino Luini was a 100% Lombard painter who had a mixed fortune and fame, quickly covered by the shadows dropped by the twentieth century critics against him. His real family name was Scapi and he was born to a peasant family near Luino, close to the border with Switzerland, around 1480. Though his artistic training is still very obscure, certainly it was already very marked by the Lombard and Milanese tradition, when in 1501 he left for Venice, still looking for a personal expression. https://wetheitalians.com/web-magazine/italian-art-bernardino-luini ________________________________ Two flags, one heart! ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น #Lombardia #Lombardy #BernardinoLuini #Painting #Art #Luino #Milano #Milan

#magazine Crepes with zucchini and crescenza cheese Crepes with zucchini is a delicious and appetizing dish that you can serve either as a first course for an important dinner or as a main dish for a light lunch. Crescenza is a soft, fresh, creamy cow cheese that has a delicate and mild taste. It gives a delicious flavor to this recipe. If you cannot find crescenza cheese, I would recommend to use either Brie or Camembert cheese without the rind.ย First crepes are filled with the zucchini stuffing, baked in the oven with some bechamel sauce and, then covered with tomato sauce. https://wetheitalians.com/web-magazine/italian-cuisine-crepes-with-zucchini-and-crescenza-cheese _____________________________ Two flags, one heart! ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น #Food #Cuisine #Crepes #Zucchine #Cheese #Eat #Crescenza #Zucchini #Tomato
