Nonno Lello was from this little town. Rieti’s claim to fame of this is that is it ‘centro d’Italia’ ~ the dead center of Italy 🇮🇹 We always joke that means we’re friends with everyone no drama for us with regards to North or South. Many magnificent famous food dishes come from the Rieti region. Alla Amatriciana is a beloved pasta dish {made with guanciale, tomato & pecorino} which comes from a commune called Amatrice. In Rieti food is like a religion, good quality is a must.
