Flamingos are stirring up trouble and ravaging rice for risotto in Italy's northeast
Flocks of these relatively recent immigrants have set their hungry sights on the flooded fields that produce rice for risotto in Ferrara province, between Venice and Ravenna. The long-legged birds aren't interested in the seedlings; rather, flamingos use their webbed feet to stir up the soil and snatch mollusks, algae or insects from the shallow water.

Andrea Palladio's Palazzo Chiericati: Public Grandeur on Private Space
It is hard to think of a single architect's impact on a city that compares with that of Andrea Palladio (1508-80) on Vicenza, near Venice. Despite his fame, enhanced by his publication of 'The Four Books of Architecture' (1570) and its success in spreading his ideas around the world, Palladio is known more for his country villas—such as the Rotunda, a model for Thomas Jefferson's Monticello—than for his urban palaces. But take a stroll through the streets of Vicenza and his remarkable ability to transform an entire cityscape becomes clear. Among the 16 palaces he built there one sees so much variety that an untrained eye might reasonably conclude they were each designed by different architects. Of these, the Palazzo Chiericati stands out for the exceptional way it harnesses the grandeur and ornament of public buildings in what was originally a private home.

Hungry goat herds help fight fires in Spain's Catalonia
MATARO, Spain (Reuters) -Amid a symphony of tinkling bells, some 300 black, brown and dappled goats trot along a paved road in Spain's northeastern Catalonia region, stopping every now and then to nibble with gusto on the dry shrubs lining the edge of a forest. The herd wandering from town to town is part of a pilot project set up in the city of Mataro, which forms part of a broader European Union-funded effort to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Jose Antonio Ricis, Mataro's local councillor in charge of agriculture, said the project was a success and was "here to stay". Each summer, scorching heat sparks wildfires in countries across southern Europe ravaging vast swathes of land as climate change intensifies. In Catalonia last year, despite being in the third year of the worst drought in a century, the number of outbreaks decreased, with the regional government attributing the decline to improved fire prevention measures, of which goats are just one part. Goats are known for their voracious appetites, even feeding on thorny plants like cacti or thistles, making them ideal for clearing brush and other combustible materials to create natural firebreaks. The practice of using livestock to clear flammable undergrowth dates back centuries, but some farmers are turning away from machines favoured in modern times and back to goats and other animals in search of more sustainable farming techniques. In Spain's Galicia region, wild horses perform the job. Whistling in short bursts, Francesc Teixido and Pedro Alba, both 38, instruct their working dogs to get the goats moving along the perimeter of a residential area in wildfire-prone Maresme county, hugging central Catalonia's coast. The two business partners recently decided to combine their respective flocks and embrace the nomadic goat-herding life. Teixido's story began 14 years ago with a small experiment in goatherding in the Barcelona suburb of Badalona. However, others in the original group soon grew tired of the demanding lifestyle, and Teixido was left alone with his modest flock of seven goats. CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE "At first, it wasn't even a profession. I did it as a hobby, to learn," says Teixido, who had worked as a skiing, sailing and windsurf instructor before. "When you're an instructor, you're also looking after a group of children or adults and have to try to make sure they behave as well as possible," he quips, adding that he prefers his current sense of freedom. Alba also left a very different life behind: He had been a touring musician, but then the pandemic hit and travel restrictions became the norm. Faced with an unintended career change, he prioritised finding a job in which he could also spend time with his young son, so he started by buying a few goats from Teixido after meeting him at a party. Aside from the ability to bring his child along, Alba says he loves to consume high-quality milk and meat, but he intensely dislikes dealing with the red tape. The goatherders are paid by individual municipalities who use their services and by cheesemakers who particularly prize milk from the roving goats. However, these income streams also mean they have to deal with more bureaucracy related to tax and health regulations. The constantly moving animals graze on a wide variety of plants and don't require supplemental feed such as lucerne - resulting in a sweeter, fattier and more protein-rich curd with a higher yield and flavours that change with the season, the pair explain. "What seemed like a handicap at first became our main strength," Teixido says, referring to the goats' lack of fixed abode. Most of the income from milk sales and the municipalities that pay for the wildfire prevention programme is spent on getting better equipment. Ultimately, neither of them is in it for the money. "If you count the hours, it doesn't add up," says Alba. "We do it because we believe in another way of life and of managing the land."

British Pasta Recipe Sparks Wave of Outrage in Italy
The British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC, publishes recipes from around the world in the Food category on its website, including numerous pasta dishes from Italy. However, a recently published recipe for a traditional Roman pasta dish has sparked outrage among Italian restaurateurs. TRAVELBOOK reveals what it's all about. When it comes to their original recipes, Italians are famously uncompromising. Recently, an Australian restaurant chain caused a social media storm with its unconventional pizza creation featuring ham and oranges (TRAVELBOOK reported). And it's not uncommon for Italian restaurateurs to charge a penalty fee to guests who order a Hawaiian pizza. In the current case, it's a recipe for the traditional Roman pasta dish Cacio e Pepe, published by the BBC, that has drawn the ire of Italians. According to the Italian daily newspaper 'Il Messaggero,' the British are committing a 'mortal sin' in the eyes of Roman chefs by listing butter and Parmesan as basic ingredients. 'We Are Stunned' 'We are stunned when we read this recipe on the BBC website,' the newspaper quotes Claudio Pica, president of the Roman restaurant association Fiepet Confesercenti. 'We regret having to correct the venerable British medium, but the original and authentic recipe for Cacio e Pepe does not include Parmesan or butter. The ingredients are not four, but three: pasta, pepper, and Pecorino.' What particularly bothers him is the fact that the BBC presents the recipe as the original recipe—and not as a possible variation. 'We have asked the BBC website to correct the recipe and informed the British Embassy in Rome.' Another Cacio e Pepe Recipe Causes New Stir In the meantime, the BBC has indeed slightly modified the recipe and now lists Pecorino instead of Parmesan in the ingredients. However, butter is still listed as a basic ingredient. And now another recipe for Cacio e Pepe, also published on the BBC website, is causing new controversy. This one even recommends adding cream to make the sauce 'creamier.' 'The BBC even recommends Cacio e Pepe with cream—an affront to all Roman restaurateurs!' exclaims Claudio Pica in another report by 'Il Messaggero.' He then addresses King Charles II: 'Come to Rome—I invite you and will serve you a Cacio e Pepe according to all the rules of art and tradition.' Whether the King of England will accept this invitation is questionable. In any case, it remains to be seen whether the pasta dispute between London and Rome will go another round.
