SUMMERTIME

David Lean

Director David Lean declared he’d put more of himself into 1955 picture Summertime, the cinematic love letter to Venice he filmed and edited entirely on technicolour film, than into any other film he’d ever made – high praise indeed coming from the director who produced epics like Lawrence of Arabia and the iconic Brief Encounter. A glorious Katharine Hepburn leads the cast as fancy secretary Jane Hudson from Akron Ohio, an older, single protagonist who has saved up for the trip of a lifetime. She’s looking for adventure rather than love, but finds both when she collides with Renato Di Rossi (played by Rossano Brazzi). Travelling alone is not always easy, however, and even in beautiful, sun-drenched Venice, Jane discovers that it is still possible to feel deeply and painfully alone. With this in mind, Lean manages to artfully explore the delicate fragility of travelling solo; the immense freedom, but also the pitfalls of being by oneself in unfamiliar territory. Lone travellers take note.

DANIEL BELLINO ZWICKE Opens the FIRST EVER BACARO (Venetian Wine Bar) to Exist in the
UNITED STATES

There was a guy named Daniel who took a trip in 1995 to Explore, seek-out, and Study the BACARI
(Venetian Wine Bars) of the Magical City of
VENICE, Italy. He had read a article in the
New York Times about these treasures of the
Enchanted City of the Adriatic, "La Serinisima"
Venice, "or as the Italians say VENENZIA."

Daniel was quite intrigued by this little article.
It was only 1 page long, but it was magical, and
it sparked Daniel's interest enough that he decided
he would go to Venice, an Exploritory Trip by which he in a weeks time would go to as many Bacari as he possibly could, eating Lunch, inbetween Lunch, Dinner and all through each and every night of the week. he tried as much CICHETTI (Venetian Tapas-Like little plates of all sorts of Venetian Specialty Foods.

He ate Bacala Mantecato, Sarde en Soar, Bigoli, Fegato alla Venenzian, Riso Bisi, Mortadella, Speck, and all sorts of other Cichetti, Antipasti, Pasta, Fish, Shell Fish, Meat, Poultry, this that and every other thing he could get his hands (Mouth) on.

Before he went, he did as much Pre-Trip Research as was possible in the "Times Previous to the internet"
When he was in Venice, he asked as many questions as he could, striking up conversations with anyone who would listen, "many did." !!!!

Daniel took lots of pictures, ate, drank Wine, and gather recipes. He was smitten with Venice, its Wine Bars (Bacari, BACARO the singular).

Daniel "Fell in Love," with the Wine Bars (Bacari) of Venice and felt he just had to open one in NEW YORK. He vowed. Knowone had ever done it. He would be the "FIRST"
Daniel gathered all his info, his RECIPES, pictures, book, everything. He worked on all his recipes, cooking constantly for Friends and Family, he made a Business Plan. He found a partner who "Loved the Idea" as well. They shook hands and vowed to open "BAR CICHETTI" the BACARO (FIRST VENETIAN WINE BAR) "EVER in the United STATES.

Daniel and Tom created a BEAUTIFUL
BACARO/ TRATTORIA, with special Imported Venetian Fabric for the banquettes, wainscotting,
a beautiful Wood Bar, and fabulous Venetian Glass Chandeliers and scones.

Besides coming up the Idea and Concept of Bar Cichetti, Daniel was the Wine Director and Excecutive Chef. Daniel's food was incrediable.His CAPONATA was the best in town, his Paparadelle with Duck Ragu was justifiably Famous, and as the Journal of Italian Food and Wine stated, his Bolognese Sauce was considered to be one of the "Best in the Country" Daniel garnered many accolades for the Wine List he created, but especially for his true and tasty Regional Italian Cusine, gaining positive reveiws from "The New York Times"New York Magazine, Crains, TimeOut New York, Wine and Spirits Magazine, and even a 5 Page Color Spread in a Newspaper in Sao Paolo, BRAZIL.
