Being the last weekend of Carnival, yesterday I took advantage of a super sunny Saturday and ventured to Saint Mark's Square......
..boy if it was crowded!!!
..I had a little seasonal treat before shouldering again my way towards home.....
..the traditional "frittella" (doughnut), made in many different variations , such as Veneziana with rhum soaked sultanas and pine nuts, filled with pastry cream , filled with Zabaione (my choice) or even Nutella!
Thank you for visiting Venice! (I know you're not so rude........)

DEar Michela,
You make my so homesick for my home country! The images are gorgeous and colourful, as one would expect. Very, very nice!
And your frittelle... where I come from, frittelle (Frittella in the singular) is something else... totally different! But... it just goes to show you what a wonderful melting pot BEAUTIFUL ITALY is!
Grazie per il bel post!
