Taste of Italy and a Touch of La Dolce Vita with Cristina!

What a truly ‘bellissima’ afternoon we enjoyed here at the Manor as we celebrated the sights, flavours, and spirit of Italy with our wonderful Cristina!

Our conservatory was beautifully decorated with Italian bunting, instantly transporting everyone to the heart of Italy for an immersive cultural experience filled with laughter, creativity, and delicious food.

Residents treated their taste buds to a delightful antipasti selection featuring creamy mozzarella, sun-ripened olives, crispy breadsticks, and a variety of tasty cold meats… a real Italian feast!

The highlight of the afternoon was getting creative with our very own Venetian-style masquerade masks. Residents embraced their artistic flair, producing stunning designs bursting with colour, sparkle, and personality. The finished masks looked absolutely fantastic!

As we crafted and enjoyed our treats, we also learned some key Italian phrases, practising “Buongiorno” and “Arrivederci” like true locals.

A huge thank you to Cristina for bringing a little piece of Italy to Devon and creating such a joyful, engaging, and memorable afternoon for everyone.
