ANTI-AGING TIPS 

一次，华特先生参加一对年轻华侨的婚礼，他很有礼貌的赞美新娘漂亮，一旁的新郎立即代表新娘表示感谢，“哪里哪里”，华特先生觉得挺不好意思的，以为未说到地方，便用中国话再说：头发，眉毛，眼睛，耳朵，鼻子都很漂亮。”

Once, Mr. Walter attended the wedding of a pair of young overseas Chinese. He politely praised the bride for her beauty. The groom at the side immediately thanked her on behalf of the bride. "Where is it?" Mr. Walter felt very embarrassed. He thought he had not spoken about the place, so he said in Chinese: "hair, eyebrows, eyes, ears and nose are beautiful."

 Ciao a tutti/e! Oggi il nostro podcast  esplora le affascinanti storie e leggende di uno dei dolci più amati del nostro paese. Parleremo di uno dei dolci natalizi più iconici: il panettone. Scopriremo insieme le sue origini medievali, le tradizioni e le leggende che lo circondano, e la sua evoluzione nel corso dei secoli.

Dalle prime testimonianze documentate nel 1470, passando per le ricette dei cuochi rinascimentali, fino alle innovazioni del XX secolo, il panettone ha una storia ricca di curiosità e cambiamenti. Vi racconteremo di come un semplice pane di frumento si sia trasformato in un dolce arricchito con burro, uova, zucchero e canditi, diventando un simbolo delle festività natalizie in Italia e nel mondo.

Non mancheranno le leggende che hanno contribuito al fascino del panettone, come quella del garzone di Ludovico il Moro e del falconiere innamorato. Concluderemo parlando del panettone moderno, dalla produzione artigianale a quella industriale, e di come continua a essere celebrato oggi.

Preparatevi a un viaggio gustoso e appassionante nella storia del panettone! Buon ascolto!
