Today's topic is Carnival, a feast that belongs to the Catholic tradition and that is celebrated in Italy with some differences among the country. Italians have a saying: "during Carnival... every joke counts!" which is pretty true, actually. For example, in the Italian city of Ivrea (Piedmont) every year there's an authentic battle of oranges! Yes, people throw oranges against each other! In the end I'll tell you something about the typical Carnival food and I'll offer you my mother's recipe ;)Do you want to receive the latest episode by email?
