Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Francesca, a true native of Taranto. I love cooking desserts and traditional dishes, and my inspiration comes from the women in my family. Photography, for me, is about capturing the moment… in a shot, you hold your breath and then start again, savoring every little detail as you develop it. Why Ethra? She was the wife of Phalanthus, the founder of Taranto, the Spartan city. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all… there are already so many of you following me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
