Cortina d'Ampezzo, also known as the pearl of the Dolomites, is known throughout the world for the incomparable charm of its peaks that manifest the phenomenon of enrosadira, particular reddening of rocks at dawn and sunset. By far more enchanting is the pink color as human skin that acquires at noon in the luminous days of May.Populated In ancient times by the Reti and Celts, it was occupied in the imperial age by the Romans. This contact is documented by presence of the Ladin language, still spoken by the majority of the Cortinesi. Southern bridgehead of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from 1511 to 1918, inserted between the Carnia of the Venice Republic and the Holy Roman Empire of the bishops of Brixen, Cortina became part of the Kingdom of Italy fifty-two years after the Veneto, at the end of the First World War. Just in this period of time it became the favorite holiday resort of theMiddle European nobility, experiencing a sort of golden age never known by the neighboring regions.Almost all the photos are accompanied by the best recipes of the Cadore tradition, such as the famous first courses: bigoli with duck, casunzii, chendi, pendoln; the enchanting seconds: stewed venison, pastin, pndole; the tasty side dishes: chanterelles and porcini mushrooms, malga cheeses, potatoes all'ampezzana; the wonderful desserts: carfogn, fartaies, nighele, peta, smrm with apples, zopes and the incomparable barancio liqueur.
