Have you ever celebrated Easter in Italy? Italians may not be the most religious people on Earth, but they take their Easter holiday seriously. Kids take a week-long break from school, and people would spend their time eating traditional Easter dishes and doing a barbecue the day after while being surrounded by nature. Listen to our episode as Gabriele tells us more about the stories behind the Italian Easter traditions and talks with Angelique how different Easter is in other countries, like Poland and the Philippines. Notes:  "Quei russi che andavano in vacanza in Calabria" "La Costa Smeralda senza oligarchi" News articles can be read if subscribed to l'Essenziale If you have any thoughts or comments on our podcast, e-mail us at [email protected] Follow us at: Twitter: https://twitter.com/it_escape_pod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/it_escape_pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/italian.escape.podcast Music credits: storyblocks.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/italian-escape-podcast/message
