4. La festa della donna in Italia

Barbara Bassi
About this episode
This week the world celebrates Women’s day, March 8th. But I’m not going to tell you about great Italian women, even if there are so many, because what I can better do is telling you three simple personal stories: something about childhood, something about youth and something about being a woman in Italy those days. You’ll also find out what a “mimosa” is and why you’d see many yellow flowers if you were in Italy this week.
