During Ferragosto, a young family from Salerno stayed in our hotel. This year the grandfather couldn‘t stay with them due to his work.

The family’s child was home sick and missed his grandfather since they usually spend a lot of time together at home.

During dinner, while eating a strawberry desert, the child, Stefano, opened up a little and told us he would like to go home this very evening. He explains, tomorrow night, the night before ferragosto, him and his grandfather would dine together and eat palatella, the typical bread of that area.

To surprise Stefano, the next day we prepared the dough and gave it enough time to rise to then bake it just in time for dinner.

At dinner, Stefano was served a whole loaf of bread, similar to the one he would have enjoyed with his grandfather.

While we might not have been able to cure Stefano of his home-sickness, we did manage to put a smile on Stefanos face.

Stefano and his family promised us, that next year they’d all be back, but this time, they’d make sure to bring grandpa.

We certainly look forward to that!

Stay tuned!!!!
