David Beckham’s love for Tortelli di Parma
It’s pretty common knowledge to us that ex Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti (we drive by his house to lunch) has a love of watching David Beckham tucking into Parma’s special food… Tortelli d’erbetta… it’s the same for my tourists as we take them to the same restaurant for the same delicious treat.
In fact Becks did come back last summer and they headed into the hills to one of Carlo’s other favourite restaurants … he has a few and it makes the now annual jaunt interesting for both apparently!
Here’s an extract from Ancelotti’s book, the_beautiful_games_of_an_ordinary_genius

Times Tables and Victory
Soccer is like having lunch with your friends: the more you eat, the hungrier you get. It’s the chef and the company that make all the difference; and I love the company of David Beckham. One evening, while he was playing for A. C. Milan, I invited Beckham to dinner in a restaurant in Parma. By the end of the evening, he refused to leave the restaurant. I kept insisting, and he kept pleading with me, “Please, one more course.” At one point I considered calling the police—handcuffs would certainly have stopped him from cramming any more tortellini into his mouth. In the end, I managed to convince him with these words: “Look, David, if we don’t leave this restaurant right now, I’m going to arrange another Spice Girls reunion tour.” Fourteen seconds later we were back in the car, hurtling back toward Milan, with the radio off. Open parenthesis: Let me say something about David. He was a big surprise to me, and a positive one. When he arrived in Italy, I expected to be dealing with a movie star homesick for Los Angeles, one of those players who thinks too much about gossip and fame and not enough about football. But I was wrong. He’s an impeccable professional, a workaholic, and an almost excessively well-mannered gentleman, with all the class of a very honest person. And then there’s the fact that he likes Emilian delicacies, which is obviously what matters most. Close parenthesis.
We never had time to go back, but one day I’ll return to Parma with my Chelsea players.

From festivals dedicated to everything from garlic to cotechino, celebrate the summer with flavor
Mendatica, Saturday, August 21st
The slopes of the Maritime Alps are home to a unique, local cuisine blending the elements of Liguria, Cuneo and the Occitan valleys. Referred to as the “white cuisine,” the diet of the locals is based primarily on starches, dairy products, colorless vegetables like potatoes, leeks, garlic, turnips or wild products collected on the roads made by sheepherders. Despite its relative proximity to the sea, the cooking and preparations reflect the mountains more than the Mediterranean. Every year the town of Mendatica organizes the Festa della Cucina Bianca, a festival celebrating the local cuisine and ancient pastoral culture with concerts around town.

Food traditions and popular culture come together at summer festivals. Here is a calendar of what’s in store.
Borgo Casale is a hamlet located in the Apennine region outside of Parma and is home to a complex of old homes that have been converted into a hotel. Once known the crossroads for people traveling between Emilia Romagna, Liguria and Tuscany, the town is nestled in the green valley of the Gotra River. On August 14th, the borgo will come alive for a big summer barbecue.
Food n Walk feste di Corchia Feste della Patona 12 August
Street markets line this beautiful Apennine 11th century hamlet with rustic food and amazing ‘testo pizza‘ (from the famous ‘Bar Nadia’) served from 12.30 and music to dance to under the ancient chestnut trees and stars. A truly magical day in a little know treasure.
Menu: Wild Boar, polenta and much more
Great for families.
On August 7th, taste great wines from the cellars of theVal Tidone under a sky of falling stars. The best Doc wines will be poured at Calici di Stelle at Villa Braghieri in Castel San Giovanni, Piacenza.
Every summer, the Museo del Castagno a Zocca (Chestnut Museum) hosts a series of special events through August 17th. The events vary in theme, from nature, to conferences to food festivals where you can sample local products, including “crescentine alle tigelle” or “borleghi ai ciàci.”
The Festa del Cotechino is a celebration of pork products, including the famous cotechino sausage, made in the Val Tidone. Many of the top salumi-makers are located in Pianello, where the festival will take place from August 20th to 22nd. Sausages of all types and preparations will be served in Piazza Umberto I.

By Prince Charles to Giorgio Armani, passing for food enthusiasts, today, culatello is produced in about 60 thousand pieces per year, hand crafted and matured long in the air of the Bassa lowlands, that piece of land watered by the river Po. 21 producers.

The first nucleus of Monticelli developed around a defence tower in 980 and the town has a long feudal tradition; even Petrarch stayed in Monticelli, bewitched by the charm of this green territory and its hills. Just a short distance away is Montechiarugolo, a late-medieval duchy of the Visconti family, rich in history and dominated by the castle of the same name, of which the only remaining part of the original structure is the fort. Montechiarugolo castle has its very own lady ghost: the white lady, a member of the Torelli family, who appears occasionally at night and is much more discrete and sociable than other spectres who inhabit castles and forts elsewhere in Italy. The main venue for cultural events is the City Hall (Palazzo Civico), built towards the end of the 16th century
