Discover the heartbeat of Italy with Mondo Italia
Are you ready to embark on a journey through the vibrant culture, history, and traditions of Italy one region at a time? Mondo Italia invites you to immerse yourself in the magic of “la dolce vita”, where every episode brings Italy’s treasures to life in a way that’s fresh, engaging, and inclusive.
Created and presented by Julie and Armando, co-founders of ItaloWorld Inc., a not-for-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting Italian culture and language, Mondo Italia is more than just a radio program, it’s a cultural journey. Born from years of research and inspired by the writing of a book titled “Italia: Una Terra, Mille Volti”, these 52 bilingual episodes bridge the traditional and the modern, the Italian and the multicultural, offering something for everyone.
Each Sunday, Mondo Italia takes listeners on new adventures, one Italian region at a time. Discover Italy’s rich culinary heritage, from the art of pasta-making to the secrets of regional wines and dishes. Explore iconic Italian art, music, and cinema, or dive into the stories of ancient empires, literary legends, and timeless traditions that have shaped Italy and its influence on the world.
But why stop at listening? Let Mondo Italia inspire you to take the next step, travel to the birthplace of “la dolce vita” and experience the beauty of Italy firsthand. Wander through the cobblestone streets of Rome, savour authentic gelato in Florence, or soak in the charm of coastal towns like Positano. With every episode, we’ll spark your curiosity and fuel your desire to explore the magical destinations we bring to life on air.
This is not only a program for Italians or those of Italian heritage, but also for anyone who loves culture, history, and the beauty of shared human experiences. Whether you’re fluent in Italian or only know a few words, Mondo Italia creates an inviting bilingual space where language and culture come together seamlessly. With a perfect blend of Italian and English, each episode is designed to be accessible, inspiring, and engaging for listeners of all backgrounds.
