Have you been dreaming of Italy? Of loud merchant streets, perfumed hidden kitchen corners ruled by old ladies full of wrinkles and recipes, handsome buskers, and good pesto? Say no more, it’s time to integrate some Mediterranean traditions into your home space and find out more about the role of superstition, domestic wisdom, and immortal tips that have been transferred, translated, and protected through generations.
From spices to daily tools, songs, and crispy vinyls full of melancholic poetry, learn how to turn your space around without necessarily taking a trip to the location.
Tips for a Mediterranean-inspired home decor:
The iconic Trulli Di Alberobello are not the only shape available to live your best Mediterranean inspired life, but, taking a look at what is on the inside can provide great inspiration. Not only that, the geographical area covered by the Mediterranean sea and the immediate inland is quite diverse in terms of costumes, cultures, and, of course, ingredients. So, keep in mind this is but a short Latin recollection, mostly referring to the Italic regions.
Luck and spice with your cornicello pendants:
The cornicello (or corniciello) is a symbolic amulet for luck that can also be found in most Italian kitchens as it is, and is a delicious spice. You will likely find at least peperoncino enriched oil in most Mediterranean restaurants worth their name, with a needle, some row, the dried version of the same spice. With a bit of patience, you can also obtain a traditional luck bringer amulet that will brighten up your kitchen, and directly serve your cooking.
The name signifies “horn” and it refers to its natural shape, always reproduced in manufactured amulets and jewelry that one can wear, gift, or hang around the house (doors are the spot of choice, if you truly want to decorate like a G).
Have the right records spinning:
Is there a better way to experience the sound of Italy than through the sound of Italy? Likely not. So, here’s a collection of names you should scan for during your next crating quest, to collect both great music and bright visuals the be hanged around every wall.
- Loredana Berté for rock ballads that can soothe both boredom and heartbreak (yes, all at once).
- Mannarino to discover a self made songwriter who was elected for the 2009 Tenco, while sharing the stage with names such as Capossela.
- Please don’t even look at this playlist if the idea of dancing to Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino doesn’t speak to you directly (just kidding, but you get the point).
- Get emotional with Modena City Ramblers and their dedication to the narration of acts of resistance against abuse of power.
