BELLINI Bellini cocktail Type: Wine cocktail  Served: Straight up without ice  IBA specified ingredients: 10 cl (2 parts) Prosecco 5 cl (1 part) fresh peach purée  Preparation: Pour peach purée into chilled glass, add sparkling wine. Stir gently.  Notes: Traditionally a Bellini uses white peaches for the fruit.  The Bellini was invented sometime between 1934 and 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. He named the drink the Bellini because its unique pink color reminded him of the toga of a saint in a painting by 15th-century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. The drink started as a seasonal specialty at Harry's Bar, a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis and Orson Welles. Later, it also became popular at the bar's New York counterpart. After an entrepreneurial Frenchman set up a business to ship fresh white peach purée to both locations, it became a year-round favorite.  The Bellini is an IBA Official Cocktail

In Italy with Antonio Travel Weekly reporter David Cogswell wrote: portrait of a tour manager as the main man.  "the tour director is the host of the party, a wild sleepover in a moving setting. he is the facilitator of the movement; the solver of problems; the maker of arrangements; a sympathetic ear to the frustrated; a protector of the vulnerable, and a helping hand to the faltering. he must be a little bit teacher, a bit of an entertainer and certainly a leader."
