In this special PASQUA episode, I’m taking you back to my childhood in Italy — to the sweet, crafty afternoons spent with my great-aunt making Easter cards, painting eggs, and cutting out little chicks and bunnies from colored paper.
As Easter approaches, I’ve been thinking a lot about how this celebration, like many Italian holidays, is full of beautiful local traditions: special dishes, sweet treats, family outings in the countryside or by the sea, and of course... meaningful words.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll hear:
Unique Easter traditions across Italy (did you know Death walks through the crowd in Sicily?!)
Why the Torta Pasqualina is the perfect simple-yet-delicious holiday dish
A fun Italian word with a curious origin: sbolognare (to get rid of something!)
💡 It’s a short journey into Italian culture, memory, and language — perfect for a quiet moment with a cup of tea or while coloring eggs with your little ones.
