Being kind is cool.
Believing in dreams is fabulous.
Having a passion that burns inside is hot.
And being pure is beautiful.
Stepping into a new year filled with popping Franciacorta bottles, Tiramisù in bed, and views that seem stolen from the Uffizi Gallery.
Being who you want to be is beauty.
BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD.
Happy New Year!

Oh, here it is again, Christmas.
A moment when we become as tender as panettone and see the lights not only on our neighbors’ houses but also in people’s eyes. Christmas has the rare strength to silence thoughts and let feelings lead. For a brief moment, we take off our coats of sorrow and stress and let sugar, wine, and love warm us.
Sharing each other’s company, whether in the snowy mountains or on top of that hill between Tuscany and Umbria.
Christmas invites us to mute our timers and let our schedules be filled only with family and loved ones.
Thank you to all the beautiful people who have become part of our Cozzano family.
You are beauty.
BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD
Merry Christmas!

Sometimes a look replaces a river of words, silence can weigh more than a mountain, and a smile can change your entire vision of the world.
These are values we learn from our dog Frank at Cozzano.
Always there, pouring love, sometimes to friends, sometimes to strangers. And often, a stranger becomes a friend in the glimpse of an eye.
In all of this, he has no expectation of receiving anything in return. He senses when you need someone close and respects your space while enjoying his own independence.
He is simply himself, and you can understand him, without a single word.
So many times we try to fill emptiness with talks, while still feeling far from each other and judging the other person.
Frank is wise, he doesn’t get lost in discussions. He doesn’t care if we own expensive cars, big houses, or designer clothes.
For him, a rotten ball is enough.
He doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, brilliant or foolish.
If you give Frank your heart, he will give you his.
That’s how it should be.
Simplicity and love are beauty.

Autumn at Cozzano is all about wrapping up in a hundred layers and still staying outside, lights turning wheat fields into gold and clouds freshly painted across the sky.
The days get shorter, and hugs last longer, whilst feeling the warmth of every candle surrounding us.
There’s a romantic silence in the air, so natural we hardly notice it. Shadows marking their territory, and people trying not to get caught by them.

October sunsets, we can’t get enough of you.
Catching the last rays of sun is beauty.

What a beautiful mess of burning candles, lip-stained glasses, tipsy laughter, and wine bottles that stay always half full throughout the whole night.
A scene that recalls the famous golden ages, those some of us remember, and others only dream of.
People seem surprised by their own ease. All sorrows left at home, but stories carried with them, ready to be shared.
Olive trees turned into designer lamps, illuminating this perfectly vibrant scene.
A secret here, a random question there people leaving the table as friends, or perhaps just as unforgettable seating partners.
And yet, this one night will remain forever.
Sharing stories at the table is beauty.

What a wild September!

After the hot and lazy summer months, we finally get up from the sunbeds and put on our dancing shoes.
The temperatures cool down, and our energy rises, just enough to celebrate all night long.
These are the nights when people lose their shoes, wineglasses, and worries all at once.
While other places start to move indoors, we still embrace the sun’s warm gifts and, of course, eat outside.
September is stained napkins swinging through the air, hot pizza on wheels, and tables so long you lose sight of the end.

Never ending nights are beauty.

Ciao Late Summer,
You’ve arrived so softly, without asking for any attention.
My body got used to your warmth.
I slow down, and something inside me softens.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my Tuscan countryside escapes.
But what is it I’m truly longing for?
Maybe it’s something only you know how to offer:
the quiet return to myself.
Those rare, complete seconds when nothing is missing.
You remind me of the luxury of simply sitting, alone, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, not to wake up, but out of joy.
To watch the world unfold like a silent film, while the digital one stays far away.
You teach me to notice the small, beautiful things that ask nothing of me:
branches waving politely,
the sun still giving its best to break through the clouds,
trees holding tight to their leaves.
You ask me to be selective about whom I let into these moments, whom I share my bottle with, who I trust with the kind of conversation that doesn’t need to end.
You help me let go of the heaviness I’ve been holding for too long.
Late summer, you are beauty.

How to do summer in Tuscany.
1. Chase the shadows, but never give up the pleasure of a vintage cabriolet. There are many ways to deal with the heat, choose yours with style.
2. Stay hydrated. Find the juiciest watermelon at the market and don’t hesitate to ask a charming Italian to help carry it to your car.
3. Create your own ventilation system: whether it’s the breeze on a winding ride through Val d’Orcia, the cool air from a wine fridge in a stone-walled cantina, or the soft hum of a fan in your favorite local alimentari.
4. Appreciate the quiet. Let the Tuscan roads take the lead and discover places no map has marked, the hidden corners where time is not a dimension anymore. Your nerve system will cool down and so will your whole self.
5. Pick cherries from a wild tree. Gather some golden grain as a souvenir and of course, always leave room for a bottle (or two) of local wine.
This kind of summer invites you to slow down & celebrate the art of living.
Tuscan summer is beauty.

Che festa! Our first Italian wedding at Cozzano.
A touch of honest romance is in the air. The one written about in books, the one we dream of in our younger years.
It’s early June and the first days of summer arrived with unexpected heat.
The wedding couple and their loved ones are, just moments before the ceremony, still sipping spritzes by the pool and cooling down their bodies & minds in the cold water.
There’s a certain energy that explains why the Italians are the inventors of la dolce vita.
A culture that lets men shed tears of joy, and doesn’t require shared blood to call someone family. A spirit where even at the longest tavolata, everyone truly feels like they are eating together.

Giorgia & Lorenzo, the purity of your love left a mark on Cozzano.
You make us believe in romance again, the real kind. The one we thought was fading away.
Honest romance is beauty.
