Chipilo, a venetian village


Very close to the capital of State Puebla, we find a village called Chipilo. I once sat in a little restaurant with some good friends and other inhabitants of this calm place and I felt... like in Italy :-). The foundation of Chipilo was done in 1882 by Italian inmigrants from the town Segusino in Venetia, Northern Italy, and until today almost everybody from there has an Italian background. Italian restaurants, Italian social clubs, Italian food, Italian language, Italian style cheese, Italian first & family names.

If you are an Italian, you should feel the atmosphere. You will be at home.
