Filming

So we FINALLY finished filming! It was a great experience being able to work with the camera's and decide what to put in the documentary. It was pretty difficult at first; and I didn't even handle anything technical!

Cason and I wrote the script, and I felt pretty good about it! I thought that we collaborated well and put together a nice piece of work! During our research we found that Dal Checchino is part of a unione of restaurants in Italy that work to preserve regional traditions and dishes.

Last night my father and I went to Dal Checchino for dinner; it was very very good! We started off with the Stracciatela soup, which was delicious. It had eggs, cheese, parsley, and lemon in it. For my main course, I got the ox tail cooked in a tomato sauce with pasta, once again, delicious! My father got braised beef stuffed with carrots, celery, and proscuitto, which was also delicious. For ordering this dish, he received a commemorative plate for the meal. This plate is from the unione of restaurants that Checchino belongs to. Every restaurant has a painted dish for their specialty that they give away to customers.

I would like to go to at least one more restaurant that is part of this unione before I leave Rome. Filming the documentary was very interesting, and I got to learn about this very important union!
