In giro per l'Italia - Roma La Porta Magica

Difficulty: difficulty - Adv-Intermediate Adv-Intermediate

Italy

La Porta Alchemica, detta anche Porta Magica o Porta dei Cieli, è un monumento edificato da Massimiliano Savelli Palombara, marchese di Pietraforte, nella sua residenza, villa Palombara, sita più o meno in corrispondenza dell'odierna piazza Vittorio Emanuele. Secondo la leggenda, un pellegrino trascorse una notte nei giardini della villa alla ricerca di una misteriosa erba capace di produrre l'oro. Il mattino seguente fu visto scomparire attraverso la porta, ma lasciò dietro di sé alcune pagliuzze d'oro e una misteriosa carta piena di enigmi e simboli che il marchese cercò inutilmente di decifrare per tutta la vita, finché decise di farli incidere sulla porta di villa Palombara nella speranza che un giorno qualcuno sarebbe riuscito a comprenderli.

Difficulty: difficulty - Adv-Intermediate Adv-Intermediate

Italy

Take your time with this episode about Rome because it is chock full of information. Il Campidoglio, also called Monte Capitolino, is the smallest of the seven hills of Rome, but it's the most important because that's where the mayor's office is, as well. Where did the word "capitol" come from? Fulvio has the answer. He also talks about where the word "money" comes from. And you will recognize the name of the architect who designed the piazza and its surrounding buildings.

Sicilia - Marsala - Stabilimento balneare Lupa Beach - Part 1

Italy Sicilian

The people who run a seaside restaurant in the province of Marsala describe the place as a little corner of paradise with its pure, curative water and sand, and meals served directly in the water. They are used to speaking Sicilian most of the time, so speaking correct Italian is a challenge. But their love for the place, and their typically Sicilian warmth towards visitors come through.
