[B1-B2] In this episode of Italiano a modo mio, I talk about identity, culture, and what it really means to be Italian.

I share my personal story as a woman born and raised in Italy, with mixed origins, feeling Italian but also divided between two cultures.

This episode is ideal for students of Italian as a foreign language who want to:

• listen to authentic Italian

• explore Italian culture beyond stereotypes

• improve listening skills with a natural but reflective speaking style

We talk about immigration, cultural differences, family values, and the feeling of never fully belonging to just one place.

A personal and honest reflection to help you understand Italy — and Italians — from an internal but objective point of view.

Perfect for introverted learners, independent students, and anyone who prefers learning Italian through real stories and real voices.

[B2] Step into one of the most fascinating stories in modern science: the underground experiments of Michel Siffre, the French geologist who chose to live for months in total darkness — without clocks, sunlight, or any external sense of time.

In this episode, we explore what happens to the human body and mind when time completely disappears.

Does our internal clock keep working?

Why do some people start living 48-hour days?

And why do we lose track of weeks and months when there’s no light?

You’ll discover how these experiments laid the foundations of modern chronobiology, what researchers learned about circadian rhythms, and why this matters for our daily lives — from sleep, to routines, to mental wellbeing.

If you enjoy episodes about science, human behavior, and the mysteries of how we work: this one’s for you.
