The Rustic Life Italian Style was created for YOU! Living in Tuscany and Chicago we are your Italian Connection! My Daughter and son live full time in Florence. I travel back and forth living, loving and cooking.  Returning to our family roots in Italy has given us a deep desire to share authentic Italian Mediterranean dish homestead food recipes, canning, cooking with fresh whole ingredients and Italian travel! I am Marie, along with my daughter Alexandria and Son Joseph are on a mission to give you the insiders view of the country we hold close to our hearts! We want to inspire you to live, cook and love the authentic Italian way! Come along with us on a journey through many kitchens, road trips and hunting for the best food!
