You arrive at a gallery at about 10.30am after a late breakfast looking forward to a good two hours of testing pictures before a long lunch and, of course, find it closed.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s Monday, you forgot, and every gallery from Sicily to Stockholm is closed. So what to do? More coffee seems just plain wrong so soon after breakfast. Tea? Surely not, moreover they will probably bring you a plastic bottle of that cold peach-flavoured sweet American stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Gin and tonic? At 11am? Surely not \u2014 but it\u2019s hot and something light and refreshing would be welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Something that clears the palate, but hints at the notion of an aperitif before the long lunch to come. So what about a Campari soda? No, not an Aperol spritz, under any circumstances. After all, you aren\u2019t a teenager any more. No, it has to be Campari.<\/p>\n<p>But first a warning: if in Italy, dodge the ready-mixed one in triangular bottles \u2014 too strong and sickly \u2014 and instead ask for a large bottle of San Pellegrino and a long lager glass full of ice with a slice of orange, with one small measure of Campari served separately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/30\/10\/76009729-12578043-image-m-14_1696067463287.jpg\" height=\"462\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ivo Dawnay celebrates the Campari soda\u00a0and offers his tips on how to order a daytime-friendly version while on holiday<\/p>\n<p>Fill the glass almost to the top with the fizzy water, then decant half the Campari into it and swizzle (with a straw if you must, but please remove it before drinking).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The colour should be a little paler pink than a full-bodied Proven\u00e7al ros\u00e9. And there it is: delicious, especially if served by a formally dressed waiter in a sunny square under an awning.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is the life. The Caravaggios can wait, and Botticelli, too. Take a first sip, then unfold your two-day-old British newspaper and read: starting from the back, reports on cricket matches that you wouldn\u2019t even glance at if you were back at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/30\/11\/76010375-12578043-image-a-10_1696070011748.jpg\" height=\"437\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ivo says that, if in Italy, you should avoid the ready-made Campari soda in a triangular bottle (pictured) as it&#8217;s &#8216;too strong and sickly&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your aim is not to get tipsy, but, like Proust\u2019s madeleine, to be transported back to other Campari sodas in other squares (and possibly with other partners who understood you better) back in your gilded youth when Aperol was unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>Day dream.
