Marketing in Europe can be challenging because of its multicultural environment.
Rather than seeing it as an obstacle, one can turn it into an opportunity.
This is what you will discover today through our conversation with Marta Romão.
---
For a Portuguese, Marta had a unique childhood. Having been born in Lisbon in the 90s, she lived in Belgium with her family until she was six.
This experience opened her world.
Instead of pursuing an average Portuguese lifestyle, she ventured out of her home country by working as a multilingual marketing professional in Spain, and in Italy.
In this episode, we chatted with Marta about her life, her experience in the Italian marketing scene, and working with Italian tech start-ups in Rome.

It all started 6 years ago.
Having been a maritime lawyer for years, Enrica pivoted into her career by becoming a food storyteller.
She recounts her personal journey – both in English and in Italian - through the culinary tradition and flavors of Liguria with her food blog, “A Small Kitchen in Genoa”.
If she’s not writing recipes and stories in her blog, she is offering private Ligurian cooking classes and food tours around Genoa.
This month, she is releasing her new cookbook, “Liguria in Cucina – the flavors of Liguria”. It’s a recipe book that’s written both in English and in Italian – perfect for our listeners who want to replicate Ligurian dishes while learning languages!

In this episode, we listen to the many stories behind some of Enrica’s favorite Ligurian dishes, and the particularities behind documenting food traditions across the region.

How do you learn Italian with a language co-pilot?

Language learning can be daunting, especially if you seek perfection.
In today’s episode, we look at another way of learning Italian with the help of a language co-pilot.
That’s where Andre comes in.
Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, her love for music and singing led her to unknowingly teach herself English at the age of six and sparked her curiosity for other languages.
When she turned 18, she decided to do her first solo trip to Florence. Little did she expect that this will change her life in a massive way. Since then, she has met countless frustrated students who feel like they have no talent for learning languages.
Because of this, she created an easy, fun, and empowering method called, co-piloting.
Listen NOW to our conversation and learn about Mo Parlo and what it means to be a language co-pilot.

So, THANK YOU dear listeners for following us in this bilingual journey.
Now we need your help.

Let us know how our podcast helped you.
And now let’s dive into our episode.

In today’s episode we are going to talk about the mythical posto fisso
There’s a dream circulating in Italy about “posto fisso”, the jobs from which you cannot get fired from easily while getting a lot of benefits from the government.
Because of these long term/unfirable jobs, Italian companies are struggling to keep innovating as quickly as other countries within and outside the EU.
In this episode, we discussed its cultural significance, its history, and its influence in Italy today.
Support our podcast and leave us a review in Apple Podcast or on Spotify and join our Patreon community.
Listen NOW to our conversation and learn how hard being a fair country is.

Is a native Italian the best choice for a teacher? Maybe not.

In our previous episode with Heidi (Ep. 25), she shares with us one of her secrets to learning Italian, which is by having two types of teachers – one who is native, and one who isn’t.
By having both native and foreign tutors, you get to have the best of both worlds – one who teaches you how Italians speak, and another who teaches you why Italians follow rules that do not match your native language’s rules.
In this episode, we sat down with Kenny, also known as “something polyglot” on the web. From his nickname, you can tell that his biggest passion is all about languages.
We learned about Kenny’s life story, exchanged with him our thoughts on language learning and explored the reasons why and when you should consider getting a non-native speaker as your language teacher.

Slowly but surely, more people are becoming more aware of the dark past of colonialism that was led by countries such as Spain, Portugal, the English, and the French, to name a few.
But what about the Italians?
In this episode, Gabriele recounts the highlights or milestones – be it the good and the bad - that took place during one of Italy’s almost forgotten chapters of its history – its colonialist history in Africa.
Sadly, many choose to neglect this part of history and associate it with fascism. It turned out that Italy started its colonial history by purchasing the Bay of Assab in 1869, 52 years before fascism started.
---
As an Italian, Gabriele believes that we should not recount these episodes because we are proud of having dominated and conquered other populations.
Disclaimer: Nothing to be proud of over there.
Instead, we must remember the strength we showed and the challenges we overcame as a reminder of what we can achieve in the future when fighting for a more fair and just goal.

Happy New Year to our dear listeners.
As many of you might know, every January, people all over the world participate in the Veganuary challenge to promote and educate everyone on the vegan lifestyle.
Because of this, we thought of sharing with you today our conversation with Alice Cosso and Giulia Cimarosti, world travelers and founders of the online vegan community in Genoa, called Vegenova.
If they’re not busy traveling across the globe, you’ll see them scouting for places that offer vegan treats here in Genoa, and the rest of the Ligurian coast.
Is it impossible to stay vegan when traveling to Italy? Can someone manage to eat a yummy pizza while skipping the mozzarella?
Can we still eat authentic Italian food if we stay away from animal products?
How will you find Italian restaurants that accommodate this diet?
Surprisingly, Italians are not as close-minded as you think when it comes to adopting a vegan diet. Last year, Alice and Giulia launched the first vegan festival also known as VEGenova Vegan Festival, and it turned out to be a success.
In this episode, we discuss the many misconceptions people have about maintaining a vegan diet here in Italy, as well as their journey to being one of the most popular online vegan communities in Italy.
While it is true that Italians adore their prosciutto crudo, and Parmigiano, they also offer traditional animal-free meals like ribollita, farinata, and zimin, to name a few.
Well, how do you think the famous "Mediterranean diet" came to be?
---
So, if you’re thinking of organizing a trip to Italy and going plant-based or vegan, you should not miss this episode.
And, if you want to learn more about Vegenova’s recommendations, and science-backed information on going vegan, you should surely head to our shownotes.
In the meantime, you can support us by leaving us a review in Apple Podcast and on Spotify and joining our Patreon community.

Today you’re in for a treat. With Christmas fast approaching, we thought of sharing with you an episode that will give you hope and joy.
We’d like to share with you our conversation with Heidi Lovejoy, the creator of a language-learning podcast called, Love, Joy, and Languages. Born and raised in Kentucky (U.S.A.), she started her language-learning journey in 2017 when she first moved to Italy together with her husband and her two children.
Learning Italian, while being a parent to two young kids in a foreign country – how hard can it be?
Heidi shared with us her journey, both as a language learner and as a parent. As you might have guessed, the path she chose was not easy. Rather than chasing after perfection, and getting stuck in her negative self-talk, she learned to let go and trust the process. And this was what she did when her family moved to Germany and had to start their life again from scratch.
If you’re seeking some joy in your language learning process, and feel hopeful this Christmas holiday, then this is the episode you should listen to.
This will be our last episode for 2022, as we’ll be taking a break and will be spending time with our loved ones in the weeks to come.
Tune in next month as we’ll release more episodes about Italy, and more!
In the meantime, you can support us by leaving us a review in Apple Podcast and on Spotify and joining our Patreon community.

For season 2, we’d like to kick off with a topic that’s being debated within Italy: how do we address our newly elected prime minister Giorgia Meloni?
Recently, journalists and intellectuals criticized Giorgia Meloni’s decision to be called, “IL” Presidente del Consiglio (in case you did not know, this is another way of saying prime minister in Italian).
According to Italian grammar, she should be called, “la presidente”, and yet, she insists on being called “il presidente”. Many speculate the motive for this decision to be political, yet some thought it to be a move related to gender equality.
---
Because of the latest headline, we thought of unearthing an interview we had with Alice de Ferrari.
Alice works as a project manager for numerous innovative European projects. She is also a proud mother of two kids and a minimalist, and a feminist. Last year, she took a master’s degree in Gender Equality and Diversity Management provided by Fondazione Brodolini and was happy to share with us her insights on gender inequality here in Italy.
In this episode, we will first give you a short summary of what we discussed with Alice about the said topic, followed by a clip of our interview. Please note that our original interview was done earlier this year.

Have you ever witnessed a real Italian wedding?
In this episode we share the emotion of celebrating our friends’ love in a timeless Italian setting.
We attended our friends Davide and Ilaria’s catholic wedding inside a 24-century old temple of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. How incredible is that!
We joined the wedding party in an ancient Villa in the outskirts of Siracusa, Sicily. So quaint!
We ate the cake by the pool. We danced, ate, laughed and challenged the spouses with wedding trivia.
But we also struggled eating through the many hours long of party.
Italian weddings are all of this and much more. Listen to today’s episode NOW, to learn Italian easy and find out how awesome weddings are in Italy and why you should manage to get invited to one!
