Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast!
We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages.
Our podcast, produced in mixed English and simple Italian, helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey.

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.

This episode will conclude our second season of the Italian Escape Podcast. We will take a break and launch our third season after the summer.

Today we’d like to share with you our conversation with Martina Bartolozzi, an Italian American trained butcher and food expert, who was born and raised in Tuscany.
If she’s not busy sharing her anecdotes on the local food scene and food customs of Italy on Instagram, you can find her working on her personalized or ready-to-go interactive maps and writing stories of women in food.
We personally had a great time chatting with her about her life story, the struggle of Italian women in the food business, and the contrasting food culture between Italy and the States.

29 - Il sogno degli italiani del secolo scorso– il posto fisso | How hard is it to be a fair country?
The Italian Escape: A bilingual English-Italian language podcast
03/03/23 • 28 min
Welcome to the Italian Escape Podcast!
Today, before we start the podcast, we’d like to make a small announcement.
Roughly one year ago, we launched the Italian Escape Podcast to provide more resources for beginners and intermediate Italian language learners and give you confidence in learning the language.
At first many thought that this was a crazy idea and that it would be impossible to maintain it.
And yet here we are one year later, with hundreds of listeners tuning in to our episodes.
So, THANK YOU dear listeners for following us in this bilingual journey.
Now we need your help.
If you think that our podcast has helped you in any way please grab your phone now and send us a message.
You can do that by sending us a voice message provided by anchor.fm. You’ll find the link at the end of our episode description. Or, you can send an e-mail to [email protected]or send a dm through social media.
Do it now. We need your help and support to keep on delivering free and valuable content.
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.

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.

Have you ever been to a mushroom festival in Italy?
Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast!
We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages
Our podcast in mixed English and simple Italian helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey.
Today we’d like to share with you a short discussion on the country fairs in Italy and our first-hand experience of a local mushroom festival.
Also called “le sagre”, the purpose of these festivals is to bring in people and celebrate the numerous local products they have before winter starts.
This September we headed to a little town in Liguria called Bardineto, where we tried out their mushroom-based dishes.
In this episode, we will talk about
- What a “sagra” is,
- What to expect when joining the country fair, mushrooms, and the other dishes we tried out while we were there
- As well as our thoughts about being in a local countryside fair
This episode will leave you hungry and motivated to visit Italy during the “sagra” period.
In the meantime, you can support us by leaving us a review in Apple Podcast and on Spotify, and joining our Patreon community.
And now, we present to you our conversation about le sagre.

Have you ever wondered whether you’d like to jumpstart your musical career here in Italy?
For this episode we talked to Oyku Dogan, a Turkish musician who decided to pursue her musical education and career in another Mediterranean country - Italy.
At 19 years old, she left her home country and settled in the little town of Piacenza.
Once she has set foot in Italy, she studied different music styles and the techniques behind each of them, all of which were taught in Italian – a language she had to be proficient in a short span of time.
Time and time again, she showed the same courage she had when coming to Italy by ignoring big music companies and embarking on an unconventional independent music career while living in Italy.
Listen to this episode NOW and find out Oyku’s story while learning Italian with the Italian Escape podcast.

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.
