Italian Gelato No Cone No Cup!

Posted on Monday, July 20th, 2009

This funny looking bun on the counter is called “Brioche” and in Southern Italy it is the very best way to eat Gelato (in my opinion of course!) Leave it to the Italians to take a good thing and make it better!!

Let’s see, I will have cioccolato, nocciola and “Rocher” the name of this flavor says it all!!!

After making your selection your brioche (an egg bread that is soft and not too sweet, similar to easter bread) will be filled with gelato and served with a wink!

Thankfully you are furnished with a spoon… even still this is a messy endeavor but worth the effort for sure!

So you’ve caught me taking a break in beautiful Italy! I promise I have been working as well and may offer a “sneak peek” soon…until then Buon Appetito once again!! And remember to visit www.celebrateart.com for updates on the upcoming show.

p.s. Why are all these posts about food???

Liana! You are a girl after my own heart! I think that posts about food, wine and travelsjust reveal how passionate we are for life and all that it offers! Surely that translates into fine art and a great love for people! Have a scoop for me!

Yum! Melt in your mouth food. I love it. Why don’t you weigh 300 pounds? Love your new work.
Only a few months until we see you again.

Yum! I still like the idea of pairing gelato to art…There is a gelato shop near the show in Arizona… All the senses…

See you in six months!

Liana Sofia Tumino

Celebrating 19 years of continued exploration and specialization in fresco painting, an ancient art that requires painting into wet plaster with pure pigment.

Liana Sofia creates small to medium frescoes on panels of wood, tile, stone or cement board, while larger works are detachments from wall to cloth, the result of a restoration process called “The Strappo Technique.” or Fresco detachments.

Rich with the memory of the moment of capture, each fresco begins with a photograph taken within the villages of Liana Sofia's parents and grandparents. She aims to re-live the experience and beauty of each place as she paints it, to evoke a sense of presence to the viewer.

Fine art collectors across the country have become intrigued by Liana Sofia's work when they understand the historical significance of the medium as well as it’s challenges,complexity and unique beauty.
