AKA: Christmas in Italy!
In this Christmessy episode, Giulia and Raffaele dabble about Italian December traditions, with an eye on some differences between Italy and other countries (meaning: the Netherlands). You also get theusual Raffaelian nerdy rant about history. This time, he tells us about a famous Saint whose relics were stolen by PIOUS PIRATES FROM BARI, the same Saint that will be later known as SANTA CLAUS.
You will learn where his mortal remains rest while his spirit travels to your home, bringing gifts and remembrances of obscure Indo-European symbols. That part is kept short by our soursweet Giulia, who will however have her spirits hijacked by her love for food. So, there’s a part about food. Like, all the special dishes prepared for Christmas in Italy. There are many of those. We could go on and on and on. After listening that part you’d probably need to fast for a couple of days. Enjoy!
