Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo! The 2023 Winter issue of Ambassador has more holiday cheer than you can fit under your Christmas tree! That beautiful Choir of Angels on the cover is just a heavenly detail from the magnificent 18th-century masterpiece Cuciniello Presepe at the Museo Nazionale di San Martino in Naples; turn to our Room With a View column for the rest of that story. Then check out these holiday features: The Medici and the Magi; A Christmas Tradition in New York City; and what you’ve been waiting for all year—Chef Mary Ann Esposito’s holiday must-make Natalie in the Kitchen recipes…so pre-heat the oven and turn up the Christmas crooners! Looking for the best wine recommendations as easy holiday gifts? See our wine expert Dick Rosano’s tasting notes. Plus, we’re focusing on Italian travel destinations from the lovely Emilia-Romagna beach of Rimini, to the mountain villages of Courmayeur and Chamonix, to the finest watery rides of Venice. Mortadella, the New York Film Festival’s 2023 Italian slate, and coverage of NIAF’s Anniversary Galas—it’s all right here for you. Ambassador magazine brings you the best of Italian America and Italy!
