Custard Lemon Cream

Custard (crema pasticcera) is the main ingredient for Italian pastry. Let's see what ingredients we need:

1 tablespoon flour;
1 tablespoon of sugar;
1 egg
Lemon zest;
1 cup of milk.

For cream, we need only the yolk. Separate it from the protein and put it in a small saucepan. Add a spoonful of sugar and mix until smooth. Now add the flour and mix the ingredients thoroughly again. Add milk and lemon zest. Put the cream on a slow fire, stir it constantly, until the mass becomes moderately thick. Pull out the lemon at the end. Ready, but still hot custard has the consistency of sour cream. Cooling gradually, it will become more dense. The cream is ready. You can eat it just like that or put it in pies.

Italian signs and superstitions

It would seem what superstitions and signs can be discussed in a country where perhaps the most convinced Catholics in the world live. But despite the full force of their faith, Italians still can’t pass by a black cat without panic, or not look at a fortuneteller to find out the future. The fact that the inhabitants of beautiful Italy are hostages of superstition is also proved by numerous studies of sociologists.

Anthem of Italy

Since October 12, 1946, the song “Brothers of Italy” (Fratelli d'Italia) has been recognized by the anthem of Italy. The text was created by the young Garibaldian poet Goffredo Mameli (Goffredo Mameli, 1827-1849). The music was composed by the famous composer and opera tenor Michele Novaro (Michele Novaro, 1818-1885). The anthem of Italy is sometimes called the "Song of the Italians" (Il canto degli Italiani) or in honor of the poet - the "Anthem of the Mameli" (Inno di Mameli).

Buying property in Italy: what for what?

Buying a property in Italy is not only a profitable investment, but also your “pass ticket” to Europe. Without going into the bureaucratic details of applying for a visa, I would like to inform you that owning an apartment or a house in Italy guarantees a “C” type visa. Thus, Europe is open for you about 180 days a year (90 days in each half year).
