On Friday 2 June we celebrated ‘Festa della Repubblica Italiana’ at Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home \u2013 the Italian National Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of our residents called Nina is Italian<\/strong>, so it was very important for us to mark and celebrate this day together. Our Chef ensured that we had a special Italian menu for lunch with Spaghetti Bolognese<\/strong> and Tiramisu<\/strong> for dessert. Nina was over the moon to see Tiramisu on the dessert trolley as this is her absolute favourite!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In the afternoon our residents were treated to an Italian food tasting session<\/strong> when they tried some Arancini rice balls that were filled with cheese, provolone cheese, mini flavoured bruschetta <\/strong>and fresh pesto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After trying all these delicious savoury tasters it was time for the sweet treats! Everyone enjoyed Amaretti soft almond cakes<\/strong> and ‘Rolletti alla Nocciola<\/strong>‘ \u2013 delicious sponge cakes with a hazelnut filling<\/strong>. They were divine!<\/em><\/p>\n We ended our day with a sing-a-long and dance<\/strong> to some of Nina’s favourite Italian songs.<\/p>\n What a fantastic day, and one we will be looking forward to celebrating again next year!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
