Often she brings home a pizza from the little Italian café at the corner.
She turns on the music, listens to Dean Martin and opens a bottle of wine.
Her little piece of heaven, she likes to call it, and her eyes sparkle when she takes the first bite.
The Italian “La Dolce Vita” is in her blood.
In her mind, she dances in the fountain, just like in the movie.
Life should be enjoyed and lived to the fullest.
Luxury and Pleasure!
For some it’s money. For her, it’s a slice of pizza and a glass of Vino Rosso.

I enjoyed writing this, and I just changed our dinner menu. We are having pizza tonight. The Friday Fictioneers are held by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. The 100-word challenge is a beautiful exercise to make every word count. It’s not always easy for a blabbermouth like me, but somehow I get it done.
I was under the weather last week, didn’t comment as much as I normally do. I will make up for it this week.
I can really relate to this post as a huge fan of all things Italian. Thanks for sharing! I love a good glass of Primitivo! I have a poetry blog here on WordPress and today’s poem is about a Primitivo in case you have time to have a look? Have a good day, Sam 🙂
Such a lovely take on the prompt! Loved it.
How did your pizza go down? Hope you enjoyed it 🙂 Dean Martin, vino rosso & authentic Italian pizza – sounds like a perfect combination! 🍕
It is the perfect combination, I grew up with it, 🙂
I like your heroine! That’s exactly how I felt as I was eating my pizza, drinking my wine in Montepulciano (oh, in the dark as there was a power outage!!)
Candlelight was missing, now since you mentioned it. 🙂
True. As you can see in the photo, there is an upright flashlight 😆
The simple things are the best. Loved this light and positive piece!
Thank you. I am glad
Lovely little piece about the simple pleasures
Life is about the simple pleasures isn’t it?
The simple pleasures in life are usually the best 🙂 Can’t argue with a slice of great pizza (or 2 or 3) and a glass of wine (or 2 or 3)!!
This was a “feel good all over” slice of life, Bridget. Well done.
You set a beautiful scene in this. Simple pleasures are always the best.
I hope you are well now
You can’t go wrong with pizza 🙂
The simple things in life are the best…best wishes for Easter..
Love Italian.. 🙂 a wonderful write up Bridget.. and wishing you a wonderful weekend to come.. Happy Easter my friend.. <3
Happy Easter to you as well. Have fun in the garden, you might find some Easter eggs. 🙂
Yes… I did buy a few to plant.. 🙂 😉
A perfect evening! Well captured!
Thank you
this is so upbeat, I love it!
It’s the wine 🙂
That’s amore…., Bridget, just this kind of love…..!
Quando la luna brilla
Il cielo scintilla
Di amore
E’ molto bella!
Ciao
What could be better than pizza and wine? Nice tale, Bridget.
Almost nothing 🙂
I hope that its not the Trevi Fountain she is dancing in, or removing the coins from!.
Removing the coins is the city’s job or the kids do it -whoever is faster. And of course it’s the Fontana di Trevi. Where else 🙂
It really is a lovely fountain.🙂
Pizza and wine work for me too. Lovely story. 🙂
I do love Italy, and the pizza tastes better there too!
I second that
Dear Bridget,
Sounds like a cozy evening for her. I predict that by the end of this prompt we’ll all be sending out for pizza. 😉 Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
And we all blame you for it 🙂
