I am Marina Fiorani and this is my sister, Alessandra.
She's our chef.
And we run together the restaurant
Boccon DiVino in Montalcino.
We started with our parents, Mario and Vanna Fiorani.
We are really proud of what we did
together with them and now alone.
This is our outside, we use also in the wintertime,
because we have wonderful window now,
so we can enjoy the view in every season of the year.
This is our wine list with a perfect temper
to every moment of the season.
Here, we have the other room and it's always with a view.
Alessandra is our chef. She grew up in the kitchen.
She was 20 when she came in the kitchen
and she start to try and find a way
to become a wonderful chef.
We have some plate that would never go out from our menu,
like the carabaccia that it's
a really old recipe from Tuscany, it's an onion soup.
And also the beef stew, Antico Peposo alla Brunelleschi.
And this is the cheek of the beef.
First you stew in Brunello wine and pepper
with a lot of spice and stew for a long time, really slowly.
Boccon DiVino is where John and I
had our rehearsal dinner.
It was really, absolutely perfect.
Rachael loves our cuisine.
We know her from many, many years.
She's really traditional.
She like parmigiana. She like the chicken.
She like... The peposo.
The peposo a lot, the onion soup.
And one of her favorite plate is cantucci.
Is a traditional biscuit,
served with with a chocolate liqueur that she makes.
Because the combination is perfectly,
and it's the best way to finish
a wonderful dine in Boccon DiVino.
We have something special that it's difficult to explain,
but you only have to come and feel it.

Ciao, I'm Sebastian DelBrenna, and with my wife, Megan,
we own DelBrenna Jewelry Store here in Cortona.
Our store is unique, because we've made our jewelry
for three generations in the family.
The first chain my father invented, we call the Links.
It's actually here and it's a retro favorite chain.
This chain was invented by my father on the seventies.
And later with time, we develop a different diameter.
We give it some twist,
but definitely this is our signature style.
This is our store on the main square of Cortona,
but let me take you to my favorite place, our showroom.
(upbeat music)
We going downstairs, follow me.
(bell ringing)
Here we go.
This is where we keeping all our jewelry.
This is our showroom.
And over here, I can show you what is the olive press that,
because all this first room used to be an olive oil mill.
This stone, it's, you know probably from the 1300.
It's very, very unique.
And now let me welcome you in what used to be the cellar.
This room is the oldest part of the building.
It's between the year 1000 and 1100.
So it's very old.
And today it's part of our beautiful showroom.
Now, let me take you where we making the jewelry.
So down here in this room,
where it used to be the stable for donkey.
They actually make the jewelry in-shop.
And you can watch it all being made there.
That's very special.
Craftsmanship and being able to watch artisans at work,
it's special to see that.
It's cool.
So here we have Lucia today
and she's setting stone in one of our pendant.
Lucia with those very old tools,
but you can see where she setting the stone
and carving metal in top of the stone
to keep the stone down.
Grazie mille.
Thank you very much to be with us today
and arrivederci, see you soon.
