Day 16 of our honeymoon:
Arles: from Ligurians to Phoenicians to Greeks to the Romans to French, the city was steeped in so much history. Erin & I spend the day walking between Roman & medieval architecture, exploring paths that monks & Vincent Van Gogh shared.
We easily could've spent a week here

Even within the north, Ligurians, I was told by Lombards, were "cheap." Bologna was seen as a communist stronghold where people went to be gay. This was the 1990s. The only people Italians seemed to dislike more than each other were African migrants. And other Europeans.

Tonight: Cioppino!!! Because my Italian-American family are bay area people. (My people are Sicilians, not Ligurians but Ligurians make good food.) And this is fun to eat and it is good. Pretty much any loosely Mediterranean fish/seafood stew makes me happy.

In 600 BC, Ligurians from Italy and Iberians from Spain settled in the area. The arrival of the Celts (Gauls) led to the emergence of the Celtiberian people, an active, progress-oriented people who built roads. The Roman invasion quickly assimilated the Celtiberians by Latinizing their language.

Focaccia is a wetter dough kneaded less and left to rise for longer. Schiacciata is boingier, kneaded good and hard, and left to rise for an hour. They are pretty similar, so it’s more of a regional name thing. Though Ligurians and Tuscans will fight to the death over which is ‘correct’.
