Buon Tanksgivin’

Perugians haven’t quite gotten the pronunciation down, but in the Umbra Institute’s eight years in Perugia they certainly have learned what the holiday is about. In the past week, the students have been running around, placing turkey orders with the local butchers, and trying to find traditional ingredients for their favorite ‘turkey day’ recipes. Cranberries, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie will probably be recreated with foreign substitutes. As they say in Italy, “Buona Festa di Ringraziamento.”
