10 Tips to Riding the TrenItalia: How to Buy Train Ticket in Italy

Motorino Man's email inbox is filling up with questions about how to ride the train in Italy and how to buy train tickets when in Italy.

Motorino Man's Top 10 Tips to ride Italy's rails from the big three like Rome, Florence, and Venice to tips for buying tickets in small stations in towns outside Italy's big three that may not be manned at all times by ticket sellers.

Click to see the video how to buy a train ticket in Italy for important tips and tricks to navigating the train ticket vending machine so you may buy a train ticket without hassle when traveling Italy. Motorino Man suggests buying tickets in Italy as itineraries change and trains do get cancelled.

Motorino Man's Top 10 Tips to Ride Italy's Rails
10. Save money by buying bread and prosciutto before arriving at station for food on train. If you don't bring food the dining car is a very nice place to have a snack on the train.

9. Arrive 30 minutes before departure for stress-free travel.

8. Trains are used by Italian commuters at rush hour so try to plan your train travel off rush-hour and do plan accordingly. Ticket prices will be less expensive off rush hour too.

7. In Italy's big three Rome, Florence, Venice and all Italy's big-city stations like Naples, Milan, Bari, Genoa etc. if standing on line or at vending machine to buy ticket beware of pick pockets and other thieves and do always keep an eye on your baggage by keeping it eyesight next to you.
6. Gather belongings before destination so exiting train is smooth and efficient - especially important when exiting train before end of line because train only stops long enough for exiting and entering passengers. Every time you stand up on train in Italy glance back to see what you left behind.

5. Carry change to buy ticket at vending machine in small stations where there is no attendant.

4. Carry-on bags: Keep your bag under your seat or between your legs. If you are going to place it in the overhead compartment, try to place it ahead of your seat location, so you can see whoever reaches into the compartment.

3. If catching the train outside major cities like Italy's big three Rome, Florence, and Venice be sure to check that the train you get on is the train you want. Many trains travel same track.

2. ALWAYS validate Italy train ticket by stamping it in CONVALIDA yellow box in the station or along the train track platform.

1. Keep an eye on things at all times in Italian train stations and on Italy's trains. YOU carry your luggage onto the bus, train, truck, or taxi with you. Don’t allow a porter or stranger to take your bag for you. You might not ever see it again.

And finally, when you buy a ticket for the Italian train, be sure you actually receive a ticket.

Buon Viaggio!

'Abbacchio romano' gets EU seal Rome's roast suckling lamb protected from imitations

Roast suckling lamb called 'abbacchio romano', has joined the host of Italian food products protected against imitation by European Union quality seals. The mouth-watering lamb dish believed to date back to the Ancient Romans, an Easter favorite in Rome and around Lazio, has earned a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) label.




The Roman lamb to cook 'abbacchio romano' comes from a sheep breed beleived to originally came from Sardinia. The Roman lamb has ''an age-old association with Rome's rural roots'' and only lambs from approved farms can be used in the dish. The word abbacchio, believed to come from the dialect term 'bacchio' for the stick once used to stun animals before the slaughter, is only used in Rome and the Lazio region.



Alberto Ciarla, a wizard of traditional Roman cooking whose Trastevere restaurant is a must for visiting gourmands, was delighted at the news. ''At last we have recognition for this monument to Roman cooking,'' he said, adding that only the abbacchio-type lamb ''has such delicious meat that you can use it in all kinds of dishes''. The classic Easter serving of abbacchio is roasted with rosemary and other herbs and accompanied by potatoes.



The abbacchio's achievement came less than a week after news that balsamic vinegar from Modena is set to win a PGI label. Italy now have 179 products which boast one of the European Union's three top food laurels: a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) seal, a PGI label or a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) certificate.


Italian culinary glories like Parmigiano, buffalo mozzarella, mortadella, lardo di Colonnata, Ascoli olives, pesto sauce and Pachino plum tomatos have been protected for some time but lesser-known munchies like Mt Etna prickly pears and Paestum artichokes have also swelled the ranks along with saffron from San Gimignano and L'Aquila. A range of salamis, rices, honeys and nuts are also on the protected list. Some notable recent Italian entries have been: a golden tench from Piedmont, the Tinca Gobba Dorata, which got a PDO; salty anchovies from the Ligurian Sea which got a PGI; the Casatella cheese from Treviso which got a PDO; a spring onion from Nocera Inferiore which got a PDO; a chestnut from Roccadaspide, also in Campania, which got a PGI; bread from Matera in Basilicata which got a PGI; an onion from Tropea in Calabria which got a PGI; and a salame from Sant'Angelo in Sicily which also got a PGI.

Kamakura in Japan : The Graet Buddha

Kamakura (鎌倉市, Kamakura-shi?) is a city located in Kanagawa, Japan, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) south-south-west of Tokyo. It used to be also called Renpu (鎌府?) (short for Kamakura Bakufu (鎌倉幕府, or Kamakura Shogunate?)). Although Kamakura proper is today rather small, it is sometimes considered a former de facto capital of Japan as the seat of the Shogunate and of the Regency during the Kamakura Period. (In reality its independence from Kyoto was never complete)[1]

According to The Institute for Research on World-Systems,[2] Kamakura was the 4th largest city in the world in 1250 AD, with 200,000 people, and Japan's largest, eclipsing Kyoto by 1200 AD.

As of January 1, 2008, the city has an estimated population of 173,588 and a density of 4,380 inhabitants per square kilometre (11,300 /sq mi). The total area is 39.60 square kilometres (15.29 sq mi).

Kamakura was designated as a city on November 3, 1939.

Kamakura has a beach which, in combination with the temples and the proximity to Tokyo, makes it a popular tourist destination. It is also noted for its senbei, which are crisp rice cakes grilled and sold fresh along the main shopping street. These are very popular with tourists. Read full history of Kamakura at wikipedia

Argentine Parrillada 4th of July BBQ

During the immigration from Italy in the 1890s and early 1900s Italians from southern Italy immigrated to United States and Argentina. Sometimes immigrants just got on the ship without regard to the destination New York Ellis Island or Buenos Aires La Boca. The southern Italian immigrant to the Americas was just happy to be leaving a crushing system of government and property ownership. For this reason, many brilliant people left Italy for Buenos Aires and the United States contributing immensely to the cultures of both of these nations.

On July 4th, Motorino Man and Side Car celebrate Independence Day in the United States with a classic Parrillada, a cookout, in the style of Side Car's hometown Buenos Aires.

July 4th parillada begins with a classic Buenos Aires appetizer provoletta, which is provolone cheese grilled in a cast iron pan with some oregano and tomato. Just a few mouth-watering bites of the provoletta is plenty for Motorino Man. Accompanying our starter is a nice Pinot Noir from Argentine vintner Luigi Bosca. The Italian immigrants to Buenos Aires found a climate and land not very different from what they left in Italy, and therefore carried on many of the food and culinary traditions found on the Italic peninsula.



Following the provoletta we are indulging in giant mouth watering New York strip steaks. This will go great with the Bosca wine also.

Buenos Aires is of course famous for its steaks and meat. A New Strip in Buenos Aires is called a bife de chorizo. We'll enjoy the steak with an arugola salad and grilled pepper.

Despite Argentina's past as huge beef exporter, today Uruguay is the regions biggest exporter of beef despite its tiny size. In fact, next year Argentina will import wheat for the first time since records began (Economist magazine, July 4, 2009).

This July 4th and every 4th of July Motorino Man and Side Car thank our countries, United States and Argentina respectively, for welcoming our families and providing an environment at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century that allowed our families and millions of other families to follow their dreams to live in freedom to pursue happiness and prosper.

To see ship manifests and find your family member who arrived at Ellis Island visit Ellis Island records website.

After a good 100 years in both countries, Motorino Man and Side Car now call all three countries home - United States, Argentina, and Italy. All three countries have political and financial problems that will need to be addressed in this century.

Happy birthday United States of America. May she find a way to continue the great vision the founders set out for her - to be a beacon of liberty, truth, and justice, a land that allows all people to pursue happiness without government interference, as the blessings of liberty are an extension of the blessings of God. Happy Independence Day to you and your family.

Lalaria Beach in Greece

One of the loveliest in Greece, with smooth boulders, striking rock formations like the enourmous Petra with its centre arch and blue-gree waters. Access is by boat only, from the harbour or in your own. There is nothing ther so take your food and water. If visiting Skiathos then I can highly recommend a trip to Lalaria beach. The beach itself can not be reached by road, the only way to get there is by boat, because of this it is beautifully undisturbed (a man with a cool box is the only commercial thing you will find there!). It is made up of white pebbles and the sea is clear blue, it really is a gorgeous beach to visit in Skiathos. If you don’t fancy hiring a boat yourself then there are many boat trips which stop at Lalaria beach on their tour round the island. I chose the trip that left Troulos and picked up in Koukinaries in the morning for around €15 and dropped you back mid-afternoon.

Enjoy the Eiffel Tower Paris France

Looking through the arch at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, you can see the Palais De Chaillot on the other side of the Seine River. The most famous monument in the world, the Eiffel Tower, was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 for the World Fair, where it was the star attraction, in celebration of the French Revolution. It is located on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine. It is the tallest structure in Paris and among the most recognized symbols in the world. To make your stay easier, rent an apartment easily near Eiffel Tower.The Industrial Revolution in Europe brought about a new trend: the use of metallurgy in construction. Because of this, the engineer's role became increasingly important, in some cases rivaling that of the architect. Built in 1889, Eiffel Tower in Paris is perhaps the most famous example of this new use for metal. The Tower is named after Gustave Eiffel, the architect, designer, and engineer.
The Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in Paris, and reigned for 40 years as the tallest in the world. The metal lattice-work, formed with very pure structural iron, makes the tower both extremely light and able to withstand tremendous wind forces. One of the reasons that standing atop the Eiffel Tower feels unique is that the structure is open to the wind, making it seem that one is not actually inside a building. This open structure also allows visitors to look "through" the tower - to stand in one part of the tower and look through the latticed wall or floor to another part.
The Eiffel Tower was originally built for the 1889 World Fair, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. During construction, it was considered an eyesore by the French, but the criticism was silenced upon completion of the the building. Today, a trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
