<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 3>This is a fun lightning round where I say something

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 3>and you kind of give me the first pop word

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 3>that comes in.

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So your favorite pasta dish?

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, the simple one? Oh no, my father one,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 4>I should say my father. It's a past edition that

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 4>my father did. Pasta regular spaghetti. You put a little

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 4>lemon zest, and then you all the herbs you can

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 4>find in your garden, parsially, basil, oregano. You chop it

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 4>up and you put it there with sometimes even a

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 4>little bit of tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. It's so good, good, simple,

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 4>it's so good. It's a summary.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, I love that your most cherished possession.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, I would say my dog, but I don't really

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 4>possess him, but I would say my dog.

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I love it. The best advice you have received, I.

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Think the best advice that I have received. It was

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 4>to follow my curiosity, and advice I also give. And

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 4>it was given to me by a great Italian war

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 4>journalist called Orianna Falacci, who was a very good friend

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 4>of mine. It was a fantastic writer, and she followed

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 4>her curiosity and she said to me, everything passes. At

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 4>the time, it was a famous model the beauty by

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 4>your curiosity. If you follow your curiosity, you'll be happy.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 4>And she was right.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>That is lovely, it is, and she is right, And

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 3>that's not always easy.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 4>That's interesting because you know, we have we want to

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 4>be perceived in a certain way, we want to be accepted.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 4>But forget all that and just say what is interesting

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 4>to me? And sometimes you know, for me, I mean animals.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean people say it's childish, but it isn't childish.

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 4>If you're anathologist, it isn't childish. But at the beginning

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>it looks like what am I doing? I mean, it's

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 4>a childish law. I should like theater.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Shakespeare, your favorite movie.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 4>My favorite movie The Circus by Charlie Chaplin.

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.239
<v Speaker 2>The Circus, so it's.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 4>A silent film, which I love. I love silent films,

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 4>and I'm so sorry that the progress in technology killed

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 4>silent because in silent film even more you relied on images.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think film is a is an visual art.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 4>When you have words, it becomes you know, we've seen

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 4>film talky talky talky, they are boring. So film is

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 4>a visual art. And because they didn't have words, silent

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 4>film really had to be powerfully visual and also pantomime

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 4>the way of acting. And I'm saying sometimes it looks

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 4>exaggerated from us, but if you look at Charlie Chaplin,

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 4>it isn't exaggerated, but it's yet pantomime, and that art

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 4>has died. And then I'm so sorry. So I'm a

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 4>huge fan of silent movie. I'm a huge fan of

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Charlie Chaplin and The Circus. I mean, it's all about

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 4>animals and Jacklin at all.

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the thing. When you think of blue Velvet,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>what's the first.

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I think of David. I think of David Lynch, and

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 4>he's a lovely.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Man, yeah, I mean it really is. It was a

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>pivotal movie. It just was very pivotal.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Favorite wine, favorite wine. I know that I have a favorite.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 4>I drink very little sometimes, yeah, sometimes I prosecco bubbles

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 4>you reli in. Yeah, I would saying a prosecco, but

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 4>I can't think of a brand. But I do like prosecco.

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, oh curse word in Italian ston stone, piece

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>of ship.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Ah, I just learned something great stones stons of s

<v Speaker 3>t r U and zo.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm going to use that. And you've spoken about her,

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>But when you think of mama, do.

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 4>You have a When I think of my mama, yeah, yeah,

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 4>Well I think that she smells so good and she

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 4>felt so good when she embraced me. She was so soft.

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 4>Mama was the most charming person I met you.

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think I know the answer to this. What

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>brings you joy?

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, my phone brings me a lot of joy. You

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 4>suspect it, I said, my children, of course, my animals.

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 4>But we all live here and so a mama family

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 4>has become a catalyst for all of us to come.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 4>And there is something magical in this place that I

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 4>don't know if I brought it. I mean, there's so

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 4>many the women. I saw the land, I felt that magic,

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 4>So maybe it has always been here.

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I love that you created because people we lost that

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 3>where your whole family lives together, like where you're you

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.239
<v Speaker 3>know that something that has gone away.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 4>It's gone away. It really it's really hard. It's really

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 4>hard when you have children that you have to raise

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 4>your own children and you don't have that the aunt

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 4>and grandmother, the consents, and we're trying to maybe at

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 4>least less of that so I can bring my Italian culture.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 4>It's not that I am an Italian mama. On top

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 4>of make sure they have their own home, they have

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 4>their own life. But for sure, it's so easy. You know,
