Trollbeads: Italian World Tour Collection

Today's next stop on the Trollbeads World Tour is Italy. I, myself, have a huge soft spot for this country, because I am part Italian and grew up learning so much about the Italian culture through my family. As the Italians say, "La Dolce Vita" or "The Sweet Life" , but doesn't it sound so much nicer and romantic in Italian!!

During this visit or tour, you can pretty much take a trip with your senses, like by tasting some of Italy's most delicious cuisine. Next, we can try to experience love just as the Italians do in the city of Rome, because in this country love is eternal, family is the utmost importance and friendships do last forever!! Please enjoy your stay and "Arrivederci" or "until we see each other again"!!

Now Please Discover the World Tour Italy collection in this short video and try to answer the question, "In Italy, a girls runs through the streets into what shop?":

As I said earlier, I am of Italian descent and growing up, I knew many things Italian so to speak. One of my earliest memories was the Italian Sunday dinner, which alway consisted of Spaghetti and meatballs. My mother even made her own spaghetti sauce or gravy (Yes Italians really do call it gravy, not sauce) that she learned to make from her mother or my grandmother, who learned to make it from her my mother, my great-grandmother and so it was passed down from many generation before that too.

So this little silver charm of spaghetti on a fork truly has a lot of meaning for me personally. It reminds me of Sunday dinners of days gone by, but not forgotten.

That said spaghetti is widely known as a true symbol of Italian cuisine and Italian spirit as well. In the end, it is an essential ingredient for the Italian World Tour Trollbeads collection.

Romulus and Remus's legend is that they were abandoned by their own mother and raised by a wolf. They, then found the city of Rome and this bead is a great symbol of this capital city of Rome.

This gorgeous silver charm for me symbolizes motherhood. Even though they were abandoned by their mother, the wolf raised them as her own. Apparently their mother was not a great mother by any means, but the wolf truly was an excellent mother raising these two as her own.

Any wonderful mother, whether a child is born of her flesh or not, who would raise a child with love and care, is plain and simple a mother. I am a mother and can tell you I couldn't ever imagine being a minute without knowing where my own children are let alone abandon them. Thank god for the wolf in this case and kudos to the her for stepping in as a mother to Romulus and Remus. Therefore, this charm is for mothers all around the world and is a must if you are a mother or about to become a mother.

On the famous Milvio Bridge in Rome, couples in love engrave their initials on padlocks, hang them on the bridge and then throw the key into the river. Here we have a beautiful silver charm that embodies this very act of love by having what appears to be a lock on one side and two hearts connected on the other side, pretty much symbolizing that these two hearts are connected and locked forever. Anyone who has just found their great love, in love for a short while or who has been in love for many years needs this charm, because this charm symbolizes love plain and simple.

Here lastly is a beautiful glass charm with the colors of the Italian national flag--green, white and red. It is named Caprese and is named after the salad (yes more food, but Italians are well-know for their fine cuisine) that originated on the island of Capri in the Gulf of Naples. This dish, just like the flag, contains the same three colors. These colors by the way symbolize freedom, unity and pride. This glass charm is quite simply Italy in a nutshell and as the Italians say," Viva Italia!"

It has been my absolute pleasure to tour Italy today in Trollbeads World Tour. If you watched the video, you should have the answer to the original question. I will not give it away here however. Join us for the next hub, when we tour the next country in the Trollbeads World Tour.
