  Italian Language and Culture - What Italian Words Reveal About Life in Italy

  Aug 11, 202621 min

  There comes a point when you're learning Italian when knowing the translation of a word simply isn't enough. Understanding Italian language and culture means going beyond the dictionary. You can know that tavola means table. You can learn that magari sometimes means maybe. You can be told that pronto means ready. And you can dutifully memorize that in bocca al lupo is what Italians say when they want to wish someone good luck. But none of that necessarily tells you what those words actually mean when you hear Italians use them. BUT: Margherita Berti, language teacher and creator of Italian Matters , has a BRAND NEW book that just came out TODAY August 11: Italian History & Culture Through Language that takes you deeper and explores 200 Italian words and expressions that look at the culture, history, habits, and ways of thinking behind them. Join the episode today to find out all the details through our fun and engaging Italian language chat! AND be the first to grab the book: link in the show notes that accompany this episode.

If you're looking for authentic Naples travel experiences, look no further! For example: Sea & Sip - the experience begins aboard a boat exploring beautiful parts of the Bay of Naples, including islands such as Ischia or Procida. Guests have time to swim, relax, and enjoy the spectacular scenery before settling in for something quite unexpected: a guided tasting of Campania's wines while surrounded by the landscape that produces them!

  An Italian American Story of Wine, Family, and Innovation: The Gemello Winery and its Italian immigrant founders

  Jul 21, 202625 min

  When we think about California wine, names like Napa Valley, Mondavi, and the famous 1976 Judgment of Paris often come to mind. Yet behind the success of California's wine industry are countless immigrant families whose stories are every bit as remarkable, even if they've been largely forgotten. One such story is that of Gemello Winery, an Italian American winery founded by immigrants from Piedmont who arrived in California with little more than determination, a knowledge of viticulture, and a willingness to work incredibly hard. In my recent conversation with author Kevin Ferguson, I discovered that his forthcoming book, Rain on the Monte Bello Ridge, is about much more than a family business. It's a fascinating story of immigration, innovation, perseverance, and five generations of one Italian American family whose legacy continues to inspire today.

  Italian Longevity: What Italians Do Differently to Live Longer and Better

  Jul 8, 202625 min

  The Greatest Secret Isn't the Mediterranean Diet People usually assume the answer is simple: the Mediterranean diet. Certainly food plays an important role, but it tells the whole story. Italian longevity comes from a combination of habits, attitudes, relationships, and daily routines that work together over an entire lifetime. When people ask me about Italian longevity, they usually expect me to point to olive oil or pasta or red wine. Those things certainly have their place, but after more than four decades living here, I believe the greatest secret lies elsewhere. It is the combination of fresh food, moderate portions, strong family relationships, close-knit communities, natural daily movement, time for rest, accessible healthcare, and perhaps most importantly, a positive attitude toward aging itself. Italians don't spend their lives worrying about getting old. Instead, they continue living fully at every stage of life. Here's what Italians do...
