On the Soundtrack: Sergio Cammariere
Every night you would hear Sergio Cammariere on the Bellavitae soundtrack. A native of Calabria, Sergio has a unique compositional style — one that blended very well with the ambiance of our restaurant.
After a career as a niche musician, distinguished by his collaboration with poet and singer/songwriter Roberto Kunstler, he appeared at the Sanremo Festival in 2003 performing the song Tutto quello che un uomo. He placed third and won the Critics’ Choice award.
My favorite album, Sul Sentiero, was released a year later, in November 2004. It features rich string arrangements, fiery jazz influence, and syncopative point – counterpoint. Two years later, Cammariere released his first self-produced record, Il Pane, Il Vino e la Visione, collaborating with several well-known jazz artists, including Gilberto Gil, Ivan Lins and Bebo Ferra.
Many of his songs are not available in the United States via MP3 releases, but you can click below to sample / purchase some of his music:

The New Food Groupies
From Katherine Wheelock in The Wall Street Journal:
At that point, it was fair to argue that certain corners of the fashion world were infatuated with food culture. Then, this fall — wham! David Chang, the chef behind Momofuku, appeared in the September issue of Vogue for a feature on Fashion’s Night Out, sandwiched between Naomi Watts and Finnish model Kirsi Pyrhonen; Barneys New York announced that its holiday windows would star Anthony Bourdain and Paula Deen; and word came over the U.K. wires that Kate Moss was mothering pots of simmering fruit for her own homemade jam. It was time to admit that a proper love affair was underway between fashion and food — and maybe not the kind that ends in December.
