When Rodallo came to London!!
By now you've probably established I have a soft spot for this quaint traditional Piedmontese farm village called Rodallo. Neatly tucked away in the suburbs of Turin, in close proximity to neighbouring town Caluso. When my 'adopted' Rodallo family- Elvio and Esta, told me they were coming to London...
