Dolce Vita/Dolce Far Niente: (The Sweetness of Doing Nothing)

I've always dreamed of living the Italian life of Dolce Vita—the sweet life—and its sibling philosophy Dolce Far Niente—the sweetness of doing nothing.

And here I am, living that dream in Monopoli.

Each morning the sun peeks into my home with golden light, painting the sea in shifting shades-sapphire blue one moment, emerald green the next. I sit with my breakfast of fresh fruit, marveling at how even the oranges taste as if they were kissed by the sun itself. There is no rush. No clock to chase. Just the rhythm of the waves and the soft quiet of the town.
