"a me non piace il cioccolato" / "I don't like chocolate"

I can't believe you're saying that, Pinocchio!

I just got back from a visit to my hometown of Perugia. One afternoon, as I was looking at Pinocchio in the window of Chocostore, I noticed Palazzo dei Priori reflected on the glass. The beautiful Gothic portal provides access to the Sala dei Notari. The two bronze statues represent the lion and the griffin, symbols of the city. Interestingly enough, the homepage of Eurochocolate, the chocolate festival held every year in Perugia in October, shows the same portal, though from a different perspective.

Differently from Pinocchio, I ♥ chocolate.

Non ti preoccupare, Martissima, sei perdonata ;) Essendo nata e cresciuta a Perugia, per me il cioccolato e' un alimento di base. Pero' se non posso mangiarne di buona qualita', riesco a farne a meno - per qualche giorno.

Very cool. Years ago, I didn't like chocolate. Now, I do. :-)
