Find out more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-italyFood lovers will be delighted to know that Sicily is also home to 23 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three two-star establishments and twenty with one star.Tourissimo Tip–If you visit Corleone, you should definitely learn about the legacy of the Mafia. We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Hear about travel to Genoa and Liguria in Italy as the Amateur Traveler talks to Enrica, Ligurian food expert from ASmallKitcheninGenoa.com about her home region in Italy. Why should you travel to Liguria? Enrica says, "Liguria is a wonderful region, not just because this is my region, but there are many reasons for traveling here. First of all, for its spectacular scenery. We have a mix of mountains and sea with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and trails. But we also have other fantastic landscapes like the well-known dry and stone walls, so-called Muretti a Secco, which are awarded as a patrimony of UNESCO for their beauty and importance, and of course the world-famous colorful fisherman village facades. Then we have a wonderful veggie-oriented cuisine." Enrica recommends a 7-day itinerary for visiting Genoa and Liguria in Italy, focusing on authentic experiences beyond Cinque Terre. Here's her suggested itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Genoa & First Impressions Arrive in Genoa via the airport or train from Milan. Stay in a central hotel (preferably outside the old town for safety at night). Start at Spianata Castelletto, a panoramic terrace accessible by public elevator, for a breathtaking view of Genoa. Walk through Caruggi (narrow medieval alleys) and explore historical shops (Botteghe Storiche). Consider taking a food tour with Enrica to taste pesto, farinata, focaccia, and candied fruit. Evening in Boccadasse, a small fishing village within Genoa, ideal for aperitivo or dinner. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-liguria/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's extra episode, we have one long piece on the Triora Witch Trials, often called the Salem of Europe. We dive into the dark and chilling history of this medieval Ligurian town, where paranoia and fear led to one of Italy's most infamous witch hunts.We explore how a deadly famine in the late 1500s fuelled accusations of witchcraft, scapegoating women for crop failures and misfortunes. The trials uncovered alleged covens, sinister rituals, and supernatural curses, with tales of midnight gatherings, deals with the devil, and hexes cast on entire families. Many women were tortured into confessing to impossible crimes, including summoning storms and causing livestock to perish.But was it truly witchcraft? Or a mass hysteria born of fear, religion, and misogyny? We'll uncover how these trials left a haunting legacy, still present in the cobblestone streets and shadowy corners of Triora today.

The Catiline Conspiracy and the Jugurthine War are the two separate surviving works of the historian commonly known as "Sallust". Nearly contemporary to the events he describes, he is supposed to have been a retired officer of Caesar's army."Catiline" contains the history of the memorable year 63. Sallust describes Catiline as the deliberate foe of law, order and morality (although party politics may have influenced his view). Still, Sallust does recount Catiline's noble traits, including his courage in the final battle. There is doubt among historians about whether Caesar was involved in the conspiracy; several of Catiline's adherents who survived later joined Caesar's side in his was against Pompey. The difficulty of Cicero's position is thoroughly treated."Jugurthine War" records the war in Numidia c.112 B.C. This war, which introduces the rivals Marius and Sulla to the Roman political scene, recounts the downfall and capture of the Numidian King Jugurtha. There is an exciting description of an agile Ligurian agent of the Roman side entering a besieged enemy city.

Tune in to gain knowledge and wisdom from the angels in this enlightening episode. Extended Summary: In this episode, as always, we dive deep into the power of knowledge and how it can transform our lives.  There is a special message from a new Archangel, Saphalderon, a new Angelic presence Sarah encounters at the beginning of the channeling, who describes himself as the “Messenger of Music”. Safalderon starts by singing a short song that he goes on to describe as “ancient music”. He says that it comes from Ireland and Norway, where there are still elemental beings such as Elves and Wizards and Unicorns. He also explains that where there are fewer people, there is more light. He says that our oceans are filled with Light.  There is more explanation about the Celtic music and that it can bring in Light. It is very special. Safalderon also discusses what happens when our different incarnations (what we call fractals) pass over into the Light. We also discuss how the negative energies tried to prevent the session from happening.  Edmund (a being from Travis' past life in England) checks in next, to talk about the Light, what it is like living in the light, and what people do for fun. He mentions that they sing, dance, and play games.  Sarah asks what kind of games and Edmund mentions Legerian games. Sarah asks what those are and Edmund says they are from the planet Legeria. He is full of humor and has many witty English sayings. His description are full of laughter and fun.  He says that when we return to the Light/Heaven, we have unlimited power. He talks about all of the things people do in the Light to have fun. He goes on to talk about how they are sending Light to the earth and how the Event/Flash/Wave will work when it happens.  Archangel Uriel comes in next to talk. He mentions he is proud we had the session regardless of the negative energy's attempts to stop it.  He explains a hand position or mudra that humans can use to repel negative energy, to help with meditation and astral travel, and even manifesting success.  He says you should do this as much as possible, and that it is very easy, there is nothing to do, it works on its own. He also explains how humans can use their stubbornness to fight negative energy. He says to not believe anything the negative energies tell you, to use your mind and to go around another way to succeed. He says there is always another way.  Archangel Uriel also talks about the power pets have to repel negative energies, and how they were given a special gift to transmute negative energy into Light. That is why having pets is such a good way to balance the energy near us and in our homes.  Metatron comes in for just a moment to say he is proud that everyone is waking up and feeling the light. He says to keep doing what we are doing.  Source comes in at the end. This is a surprise. Source says that the Angels always tell us this, but he wanted to tell us for himself that we are doing very well, that we are breaking through the lie. He says that is the way he created us, to use our human brain. He says we are all doing well. He says he created us as light and that is what we will forever be, no matter what.  Timestamps: [00:07:25] Healing through Celtic/ancient music.

00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:04,830 I am Sarah Webb. 2 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:10,230 Welcome to Quantum Healing with the Angels, the podcast. 3 00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:17,160 I believe that one of the most valuable gifts that we can give ourselves is knowledge. 4 00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,810 The angels say that knowledge is power. 5 00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:29,490 In fact, they say that that particular phrase is one of the most truthful sayings on the planet today. 6 00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:40,260 Through my Beyond Quantum Healing Sessions, I receive knowledge from my clients in their relaxed state of hypnosis. 7 00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:47,790 Clients obtain information and guidance from their higher selves and other high vibrational beings. 8 00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:58,260 They often share wisdom and insights that are helpful for them and for others to hear through my husband's channelings. 9 00:00:58,295 --> 00:01:01,535 We also receive knowledge from the angels. 10 00:01:02,855 --> 00:01:11,915 They share extraordinary messages of light, love and encouragement that are meant to be shared with humanity. 11 00:01:13,475 --> 00:01:17,615 Join us as we share the knowledge we've received with the world. 12 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:27,570 Welcome to Quantum Healing with the Angels. 13 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:31,920 So we had a different plan. 14 00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:38,820 We actually had a plan to have a guest on, but life happened. 15 00:01:38,955 --> 00:01:44,054 And some things had to be changed, and I didn't want you to have to wait. 16 00:01:44,054 --> 00:01:47,625 So I have another channeling for you. 17 00:01:49,274 --> 00:01:54,945 And it is a channeling from last year, and this one is very special. 18 00:01:56,595 --> 00:01:58,515 So Archangel Uriel shared. 19 00:01:59,205 --> 00:02:14,235 A hand position with us that I believe people would call a mudra, and he explains what it does and how it can help you with quite a few things in your life. 20 00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:26,655 So if you want to see that mudra or that hand position, I will link the video that goes with this session in the show notes for you so you can take a look at it and. 21 00:02:27,195 --> 00:02:29,145 See what he was doing with his hands. 22 00:02:30,375 --> 00:02:32,925 Now if you do take a look at this video. 23 00:02:33,675 --> 00:02:36,945 Look closely at Travis's hands. 24 00:02:37,215 --> 00:02:39,285 We didn't realize this at first. 25 00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:54,285 Uh, we actually didn't see it until we watched it on our larger computer, but when he's moving his hands, there's light that is flying back and forth between his hands. 26 00:02:54,855 --> 00:02:57,600 So, That was pretty interesting. 27 00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:07,080 We, like I said, we didn't notice that at first, but you will see it if you look closely or if you can, um, look at it on a larger screen. 28 00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:23,280 I'm feeling a lot of strong energy coming in as I'm getting ready to upload this, so I hope that you can feel it when you listen and soak it up as I'm doing right now. 29 00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:34,910 We will have another episode up for you as soon as possible, and we're rescheduling our guest so that that will happen also as soon as possible. 30 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400 There's one more thing that I have to let you know about. 31 00:03:41,524 --> 00:03:51,125 For about the first 10 seconds of the recording, the audio is pretty low and I apologize for that. 32 00:03:51,815 --> 00:04:02,524 We had to change our recording plans at the very last second, so it does get sorted out at about 10 seconds in so. 33 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:08,360 If you can just give it that long, you'll start to hear more of what's going on. 34 00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:12,170 I didn't wanna cut that part out because it's important. 35 00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:18,019 I think you can probably crank your, your, uh, volume just to hear it. 36 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,300 And thank you for your patience. 37 00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:21,649 I really appreciate that. 38 00:04:22,995 --> 00:04:34,635 So lots of love to everyone, and if you're in the US uh, it's July 4th, so we hope you have a very happy holiday. 39 00:04:34,695 --> 00:04:40,935 And thank you again for listening to Quantum Healing with the Angels. 40 00:04:48,645 --> 00:04:49,815 Who am I speaking to? 41 00:04:57,205 --> 00:04:58,705 Safalderon. 42 00:04:59,285 --> 00:05:00,355 Safalderon? 43 00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:02,250 Yes. 44 00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:03,510 I've never met you. 45 00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:13,590 I was brought here from, from the music. 46 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:15,780 From the music. 47 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,210 Is that the sound I heard? 48 00:05:18,690 --> 00:05:22,710 Music coming from this body? 49 00:05:24,330 --> 00:05:24,419 Yes. 50 00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:26,490 I was summoned by the music. 51 00:05:28,039 --> 00:05:28,330 Okay. 52 00:05:30,109 --> 00:05:34,260 It was ancient music. 53 00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:37,930 That's what that's, that's what that was. 54 00:06:04,844 --> 00:06:06,405 That was what I heard. 55 00:06:07,905 --> 00:06:09,885 I've never that before. 56 00:06:10,515 --> 00:06:13,034 I am the messenger of music. 57 00:06:13,034 --> 00:06:13,335 I. 58 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:19,590 Hear the music and I come and I send it back to source. 59 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,680 I am a messenger. 60 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,480 What do you do? 61 00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:29,430 A messenger of healing and that is how people call you. 62 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:40,980 Your husband is trying to get healing done for different things. 63 00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:46,440 And I heard the music coming from him. 64 00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:51,540 It is connected to his other life had. 65 00:06:51,540 --> 00:07:01,860 He was very fond of, very fond of his enemies. 66 00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:06,900 His enemies were from the north, they were. 67 00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:09,750 What you call Celtic. 68 00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:11,510 Oh, okay. 69 00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:15,270 He, he is part of him. 70 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:25,169 It is always a part of him from his and his other lands and from his other life. 71 00:07:25,409 --> 00:07:31,020 Which life was that when he was Edmond, was the Yes. 72 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:35,880 That was the only other life he had and he is connected to it. 73 00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:36,419 Okay. 74 00:07:37,275 --> 00:07:40,455 And he hears that kind of music. 75 00:07:40,455 --> 00:07:41,265 Sometimes. 76 00:07:42,555 --> 00:07:43,515 I have heard music too. 77 00:07:45,525 --> 00:07:50,835 You are connected to him as well, so that's the music I hear. 78 00:07:51,585 --> 00:07:53,234 It is from the other lives. 79 00:07:53,234 --> 00:07:56,655 You always have connections to your other lives. 80 00:07:57,015 --> 00:07:59,534 Oh, is healing music? 81 00:08:00,344 --> 00:08:03,495 It's healing music, yes. 82 00:08:04,604 --> 00:08:05,265 How does it heal? 83 00:08:06,659 --> 00:08:08,280 It brings in more light. 84 00:08:09,330 --> 00:08:18,419 If you listen to that music, sometimes it will bring you comfort and joy that music is connected to the light is 85 00:08:18,419 --> 00:08:30,570 connected to the other beings on your planet that you think do not exist anymore, beings that you call elves and 86 00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:32,775 wizards and 87 00:08:35,775 --> 00:08:37,814 unicorns. 88 00:08:38,155 --> 00:08:39,294 Oh, okay. 89 00:08:40,304 --> 00:08:41,174 I understand now. 90 00:08:41,174 --> 00:08:48,665 Those beings exist, but they hide and they don't show themselves anymore. 91 00:08:50,225 --> 00:08:50,645 Mm-hmm. 92 00:08:50,975 --> 00:08:54,685 Cause of the negative and frightful. 93 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:05,100 Tendencies that the humans have down, down here on this planet. 94 00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:10,620 Some people still see them every now and then in those parts. 95 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:21,870 They're mostly in the European area, on your planet, in the Northern European areas that you call. 96 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:26,760 Norway and Ireland. 97 00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:27,420 Yeah. 98 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:39,720 Those are the remaining mystic areas in your planet, and that's why yes, I'm so connected to Norway. 99 00:09:41,475 --> 00:09:45,795 That's where most of the light still generates from. 100 00:09:45,825 --> 00:09:48,675 That's why it's always so quiet there. 101 00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:49,595 Yes. 102 00:09:49,785 --> 00:09:51,345 And the wars. 103 00:09:52,365 --> 00:09:52,455 Mm-hmm. 104 00:09:54,705 --> 00:09:57,345 All of those things exist. 105 00:09:59,385 --> 00:10:07,995 They are merely out of your so-called matrix, the matrix cannot touch that area. 106 00:10:09,085 --> 00:10:09,305 Mm. 107 00:10:09,705 --> 00:10:13,875 That's why when people go to those areas, they feel free. 108 00:10:15,855 --> 00:10:23,895 They have technology there, but it is not as strong as in the other parts of your world. 109 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:24,155 Mm-hmm. 110 00:10:24,695 --> 00:10:30,795 Mainly the less people there is, the more light that comes through. 111 00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:36,420 Any remote area is an area that has the most light. 112 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:45,510 Most of your oceans have lots of light because there is not any disturbance out there. 113 00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:49,260 Your oceans are filled with lights. 114 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,359 Your planet is more water than land, so your planet has more light. 115 00:10:57,599 --> 00:10:58,020 Mm-hmm. 116 00:10:58,209 --> 00:11:06,045 Thus, The reason why we say the negative will never win because your planet is mostly light. 117 00:11:07,395 --> 00:11:12,135 The negative is just concentrated in the areas where there is more people. 118 00:11:13,905 --> 00:11:23,295 The oceans are healing, and every time you have a session like this, the light comes through. 119 00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:30,135 That's why it seems like any negative energy or pain goes away. 120 00:11:32,355 --> 00:11:37,905 That's why these kind of sessions are so important. 121 00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:42,225 They take away the negative energy. 122 00:11:43,815 --> 00:11:50,385 There was some negative energy trying to defect this session from the beginning. 123 00:11:51,195 --> 00:11:51,645 Mm-hmm. 124 00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:54,435 Turned off the computer in the other room. 125 00:11:55,155 --> 00:11:56,745 Yes. 126 00:11:57,465 --> 00:12:04,545 That's why it was a good idea that you did the session in this room. 127 00:12:05,365 --> 00:12:05,585 Yes. 128 00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:10,635 We had it set up on a Zoom call, but that didn't work. 129 00:12:10,635 --> 00:12:11,235 It shut off. 130 00:12:11,935 --> 00:12:13,475 So I'm doing it with my phone. 131 00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:16,285 I was keeping. 132 00:12:17,339 --> 00:12:19,620 The negative music from happening. 133 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:22,170 So they try to do it another way. 134 00:12:22,229 --> 00:12:30,000 They try to defect the electronics to try to stop the session, but you are smart enough to 135 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,780 know that you have other ways to do the session, and they know that and they are not happy. 136 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:38,099 Mm-hmm. 137 00:12:38,609 --> 00:12:45,120 But it doesn't matter if they're happy or not because the light is stronger than them and we are light. 138 00:12:46,829 --> 00:12:55,740 Music is powerful on the Celtic level and the Norwegian level. 139 00:12:57,090 --> 00:13:00,959 Their music is very, very filled with light. 140 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:02,730 Interesting. 141 00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:07,140 I had a message this week from the girl in Norway. 142 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,180 She sang a song to me. 143 00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:11,699 Yes, yes. 144 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:14,219 That was my gift to you. 145 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,959 That's why I wanted you to speak to you today, and that's why I've seen unicorns. 146 00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:22,770 Yes. 147 00:13:22,770 --> 00:13:25,770 All the time yesterday. 148 00:13:25,859 --> 00:13:26,719 All day long. 149 00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:27,719 Yes. 150 00:13:29,349 --> 00:13:31,199 That is exactly why. 151 00:13:32,990 -->

00:23:41,715 --> 00:23:44,264 No one will be walking. 329 00:23:44,264 --> 00:23:46,475 There will be no yes. 330 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:57,990 Law enforcement, there will be no kind of government

the same time. 336 00:24:25,215 --> 00:24:35,055 Everyone will go once the light hits, the light will push every bit of negative energy off your planet. 337 00:24:35,115 --> 00:24:37,545 There will be no negative energy left. 338 00:24:37,635 --> 00:24:39,705 It will be wiped out. 339 00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:42,165 Nothing negative will be. 340 00:24:42,510 --> 00:24:42,930 Left. 341 00:24:43,420

00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:57,280 They will be a little scared, okay? 344 00:24:57,390 --> 00:25:02,310 But they being scared at that point is not negative. 345 00:25:03,630 --> 00:25:09,540 Being scared now is negative because the negative energies can feed off of it. 346 00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:19,455 But once the light hits, Some people will be scared, but only for a little while, and then it will go away. 347 00:25:20,055 --> 00:25:25,215 Because when they look around, they will see everything is okay, and everyone is okay. 348 00:25:25,275 --> 00:25:38,055 No one will be hugged, everyone will be happy, and the ones that who do have difficulty with it will be put in the place. 349 00:25:38,535 --> 00:25:45,525 Will they be given the time to learn about the light, but that will not take long. 350 00:25:45,615 --> 00:25:46,035 Mm-hmm. 351 00:25:46,935 --> 00:25:47,025 Either. 352 00:25:47,665 --> 00:25:51,705 Yeah, they will be okay. 353 00:25:52,695 --> 00:25:53,175 Yeah. 354 00:25:53,655 --> 00:25:56,505 It sounds like a perfect plan. 355 00:25:56,975 --> 00:25:57,195 Yes. 356 00:25:59,285 --> 00:25:59,505 Yes. 357 00:26:00,045 --> 00:26:03,165 So everyone in the light, are they all helping? 358 00:26:03,555 --> 00:26:04,005 Yes. 359 00:26:04,035 --> 00:26:04,515 Okay. 360 00:26:05,235 --> 00:26:09,525 Everyone will be helping and everyone will be getting cracking. 361 00:26:10,875 --> 00:26:12,285 It will be cracking. 362 00:26:12,505 --> 00:26:14,025 Cracking, cracking. 363 00:26:14,325 --> 00:26:16,815 It will be just wonderful. 364 00:26:17,085 --> 00:26:17,895 So funny. 365 00:26:21,615 --> 00:26:23,985 Yes, it is so wonderful. 366 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:24,225 Love. 367 00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:28,725 How come you've only had two lives? 368 00:26:31,095 --> 00:26:33,645 Not everyone has many lives. 369 00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:39,360 Some people up here has never had a life. 370 00:26:39,629 --> 00:26:42,090 They have always been in the light. 371 00:26:42,090 --> 00:26:45,959 Some people just don't want to have a life. 372 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:48,090 They just want to stay in the light. 373 00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:49,889 Some people have many lives. 374 00:26:49,889 --> 00:26:52,350 Some people only have a few lives. 375 00:26:52,830 --> 00:26:59,159 The people that have many lives are the ones that have the most to learn, and they choose to go back. 376 00:27:01,050 --> 00:27:02,100 They have the most to learn. 377 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,600 What do you mean? 378 00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:12,300 Some like beings have to learn different things in life. 379 00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:17,220 They have to learn to be negative sometimes. 380 00:27:17,220 --> 00:27:17,310 Mm-hmm. 381 00:27:17,610 --> 00:27:19,740 And it plays out in that life. 382 00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:19,830 Mm-hmm. 383 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,390 And then they come back and they got to learn to be selfish. 384 00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:25,460 Yeah. 385 00:27:26,290 --> 00:27:27,260 It's very weird. 386 00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:30,140 I think it's weird. 387 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,200 Yes, I know. 388 00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:35,110 I know. 389 00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:35,790 It's like playing. 390 00:27:36,060 --> 00:27:37,550 It's like I know a play. 391 00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:42,780 It's like a strange play where we're all playing the parts. 392 00:27:44,190 --> 00:27:46,500 It's pretty much like that way. 393 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,020 It won't be that way for long. 394 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:57,600 There are let people taking reincarnated lives because you are close to the end, so it doesn't matter. 395 00:27:58,890 --> 00:28:00,380 Yeah, I heard that. 396 00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:00,930 I have a. 397 00:28:01,695 --> 00:28:03,885 Client who channeled source. 398 00:28:05,475 --> 00:28:06,435 Ah, yes. 399 00:28:06,645 --> 00:28:07,395 Yes. 400 00:28:07,395 --> 00:28:10,254 Source is always there. 401 00:28:10,635 --> 00:28:11,054 Mm-hmm. 402 00:28:13,455 --> 00:28:20,835 He said that there is a moratorium on karma because so many are coming to help. 403 00:28:20,955 --> 00:28:21,405 Yes. 404 00:28:21,645 --> 00:28:23,804 That the karma has been put away. 405 00:28:23,895 --> 00:28:25,335 Yes, it has been put. 406 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,530 Away because it has been done enough. 407 00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:28,650 Okay? 408 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,140 And it's almost time for the light to come. 409 00:28:31,380 --> 00:28:41,970 So the children that are being born now probably will not grow up to be adults because the light is coming soon. 410 00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:51,900 So when the light comes when they're baby still, then they would automatically just go right back up into the light because. 411 00:28:52,695 --> 00:29:00,915 They won't be able to walk or take care of themselves, so they will be boom, automatically brought right back up here. 412 00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:10,575 The people that are in the light down there will just turn that planet into a light planet and no one will 413 00:29:10,575 --> 00:29:20,025 die anymore more, and you'll be able to transgress from there to here, back and forth, back and forth. 414 00:29:21,045 --> 00:29:23,535 It will be a light planet. 415 00:29:24,315 --> 00:29:24,555 Okay. 416 00:29:25,035 --> 00:29:31,905 And it will be just like this, no pain or anything. 417 00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:36,915 It will be connected to half actually. 418 00:29:36,915 --> 00:29:39,105 The whole universe would be like that. 419 00:29:39,105 --> 00:29:42,105 It's, this is not a thing that is happening in sections. 420 00:29:42,105 --> 00:29:43,875 The whole universe would be light. 421 00:29:44,445 --> 00:29:44,535 Wow. 422 00:29:45,015 --> 00:29:47,565 So it's all almost starting over. 423 00:29:48,135 --> 00:29:48,705 Yeah. 424 00:29:49,545 --> 00:30:03,975 Until the source wants to start over, which we don't know if he will or not, he could start over and do another, what you call a big bang and start over again. 425 00:30:03,980 --> 00:30:04,485 Oh, I see. 426 00:30:05,535 --> 00:30:05,565 Okay. 427 00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:05,625 Wow. 428 00:30:05,625 --> 00:30:16,005 But then again, he might not, we all are connected to source, but Source still has his own, what you call. 429 00:30:16,605 --> 00:30:20,475 Secrets because we don't know everything He knows. 430 00:30:20,475 --> 00:30:22,304 We know mostly what he knows. 431 00:30:22,605 --> 00:30:25,514 Oh, and what are you doing with your hands? 432 00:30:27,495 --> 00:30:31,875 I think I have to conclude now. 433 00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:33,825 Someone else wants to come. 434 00:30:34,235 --> 00:30:34,815 Oh, okay. 435 00:30:45,945 --> 00:30:48,655 Yes, I, I am here. 436 00:30:49,274 --> 00:30:49,495 Hi. 437 00:30:50,625 --> 00:30:59,625 I had to break in again to tell you that I'm really happy that you fought today. 438 00:31:01,004 --> 00:31:01,245 Mm-hmm. 439 00:31:01,544 --> 00:31:04,485 I could tell that you were very upset. 440 00:31:05,215 --> 00:31:06,225 I was for a minute. 441 00:31:07,294 --> 00:31:08,575 I was fighting very hard. 442 00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,740 The negative energies. 443 00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:14,850 Were really trying to make you upset. 444 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,310 Yeah, they were hurting my back. 445 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:26,730 Just different things, frustrations, and you fought it and I'm very proud that you did that. 446 00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:36,270 You went through with a session regardless of what they were trying to do to you, and I'm very proud of you. 447 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,110 Thank you. 448 00:31:38,115 --> 00:31:41,760 Everything is still going to plan. 449 00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:42,990 Okay? 450 00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:51,240 And I am happy that you are believing in that they are trying to put doubts in your head, 451 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,740 but you are getting used to it now, so it's starting to not work as much as it was before. 452 00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:01,950 They're going to keep trying regardless. 453 00:32:01,950 --> 00:32:05,250 Even when you are successful, they're still going to try. 454 00:32:05,850 --> 00:32:07,710 That is just what they do. 455 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,590 Even now, they're still trying. 456 00:32:10,899 --> 00:32:11,120 Yes. 457 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,879 I have pain in my head back. 458 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,920 Yes. 459 00:32:13,925 --> 00:32:18,660 Yes, and we are healing at right now because they are poking at you. 460 00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:22,620 They are really trying to make you upset. 461 00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:24,990 Keep putting doubts in your head. 462 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200 I just keep pushing it outta my mind. 463 00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:31,050 That is what you do. 464 00:32:31,890 --> 00:32:32,100 Yeah. 465 00:32:34,050 --> 00:32:41,820 And another way you can do is you can typically just ignore it because they think you can't ignore it. 466 00:32:41,820 --> 00:32:43,380 That's why they keep doing it. 467 00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:47,760 Oh, it is pretty easy to ignore the pain sometimes. 468 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:55,199 Mainly because, Most humans are really stubborn, so you can use that stubbornness to your advantage. 469 00:32:55,439 --> 00:33:00,030 You can be stubborn with the negative energies, so it's easy to push it away. 470 00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,419 They definitely try with thoughts too. 471 00:33:03,570 --> 00:33:08,970 They try with thoughts, they try with little things, and I will say this again. 472 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,250 Everything I say to you, I am saying to everyone. 473 00:33:15,645 --> 00:33:23,865 Anyone who is listening, if anything negative, tries to go in your head, be stubborn and push it away. 474 00:33:23,955 --> 00:33:25,245 Do not believe it. 475 00:33:25,515 --> 00:33:27,915 You have a mind. 476 00:33:27,915 --> 00:33:30,195 Use that mind to go around. 477 00:33:30,195 --> 00:33:32,325 Another way to succeed. 478 00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:34,785 There's always other ways. 479 00:33:36,375 --> 00:33:41,475 Concentrate on the pyramid of light and use that pyramid of light. 480 00:33:42,659 --> 00:33:45,060 Towards your success. 481 00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:47,460 How often do you have to do that? 482 00:33:49,020 --> 00:33:51,000 You can do it as often as you like. 483 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,060 You don't have to do it only when it's negative energies. 484 00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,179 Yeah, you should do it as much as possible. 485 00:33:57,899 --> 00:33:57,929 Okay. 486 00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:03,510 The pyramid of light is not only to use towards negative energies. 487 00:34:03,510 --> 00:34:06,300 The pyramid of light is you. 488 00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:09,719 You harness the light and you. 489 00:34:10,455 --> 00:34:24,045 Push it towards what you want, or you can just use the pyramid of light just for you to extinguish any negative energy that tries to get at you. 490 00:34:24,045 --> 00:34:32,535 If it's not any negative energy due to pyramid of light any way, that way they would not come anywhere near you. 491 00:34:33,525 --> 00:34:35,925 I was gonna ask you something about that. 492 00:34:37,005 --> 00:34:38,505 What do the cats do? 493 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,600 That makes them run away, makes them go away. 494 00:34:43,529 --> 00:34:49,049 Because if the cat catches them, the cat would turn the negative energy into light. 495 00:34:49,949 --> 00:34:50,170 Oh. 496 00:34:50,279 --> 00:34:51,779 And they do not want that. 497 00:34:52,500 --> 00:35:02,160 That's why they can't get anywhere near pets because they have light and the pets. 498 00:35:02,625 --> 00:35:04,155 Can catch them. 499 00:35:04,395 --> 00:35:15,675 The pets will jump out of their bodies with their light and latch on to the negative energy and turn that negative energy into light, and they do not want that. 500 00:35:16,635 --> 00:35:16,925 Okay. 501 00:35:17,235 --> 00:35:21,765 I was wondering the mechanics of it, and that is amazing. 502 00:35:22,465 --> 00:35:23,285 That's amazing. 503 00:35:23,625 --> 00:35:25,905 That's why they are terrified of pets. 504 00:35:25,905 --> 00:35:30,555 That's why it's always good for people to have pets in their house because pets. 505 00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:38,610 Are light and while your humans are sleeping, your pets might be sleeping too. 506 00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:46,020 But that's why we gave them really sharp ears so they can hear if you hear a sound in your place. 507 00:35:46,495 --> 00:35:48,795 It sounds like something is not right. 508 00:35:48,799 --> 00:35:51,435 That's a negative energy trying to scare you. 509 00:35:51,435 --> 00:35:57,495 So the pets will jump up and go after the negative light and the negative light would run off because if 510 00:35:57,495 --> 00:36:07,305 the pet catches them, they will turn into light and they do not want to have anything to do with that. 511 00:36:08,115 --> 00:36:12,615 That is why we say try to have a pet. 512 00:36:12,825 --> 00:36:14,565 Pets are good for. 513 00:36:15,855 --> 00:36:19,125 Anyone on any planet. 514 00:36:19,125 --> 00:36:24,375 It doesn't matter what planet you are on, if they have a pet, it's the same thing. 515 00:36:24,884 --> 00:36:32,475 Doesn't matter what planet you are on, any kind of pet you have, who would knock away the negative energies? 516 00:36:33,165 --> 00:36:33,495 Yeah. 517 00:36:34,035 --> 00:36:35,084 What do dogs do? 518 00:36:35,265 --> 00:36:37,044 Why do they chase them away? 519 00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:40,605 They chased them away the same way any pet would. 520 00:36:40,905 --> 00:36:41,925 Can they catch them too? 521 00:36:42,165 --> 00:36:42,585 Yes. 522 00:36:42,585 --> 00:36:44,715 It doesn't matter what kind of pet it is. 523 00:36:44,715 --> 00:36:44,745 Okay. 524 00:36:45,105 --> 00:36:46,965 It does the same thing. 525 00:36:47,685 --> 00:36:47,715 Okay. 526 00:36:47,775 --> 00:36:48,225 Wow. 527 00:36:49,095 --> 00:36:58,835 Even birds, so they can actually jump outside of their bodies and catch the energy and tr tr mute it into light. 528 00:36:59,505 --> 00:37:00,105 Yes. 529 00:37:00,435 --> 00:37:01,185 That's amazing. 530 00:37:02,145 --> 00:37:04,275 That is the way it works. 531 00:37:04,665 --> 00:37:06,615 Are people ever able to do that? 532 00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,315 If we hold enough light? 533 00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:09,840 Yes. 534 00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:13,710 With this, with that, the pyramid of light. 535 00:37:14,670 --> 00:37:18,780 So what does that do to, to the negative energy? 536 00:37:19,290 --> 00:37:20,610 It pushes them away. 537 00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:21,450 Okay. 538 00:37:22,260 --> 00:37:25,380 If you do the pyramid of light, it will push them away. 539 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,830 You won't have to jump out of your bodies. 540 00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:31,080 Your pyramid of light pushes them away. 541 00:37:31,140 --> 00:37:33,660 Pets are light. 542 00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:37,620 We on our side are light. 543 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:49,290 And you are light, but pets have a special talent to be able to jump out of their bodies at will. 544 00:37:49,710 --> 00:37:49,770 Wow. 545 00:37:50,399 --> 00:37:58,049 Humans could probably do it if they really, really know how the pyramid of light works. 546 00:37:58,049 --> 00:38:00,629 You can put the pyramid of light and you can meditate. 547 00:38:01,149 --> 00:38:01,440 Okay. 548 00:38:01,859 --> 00:38:02,819 And you can push. 549 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,680 Energies away is what you call astro Travel. 550 00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:09,720 S can naturally astro travel. 551 00:38:10,020 --> 00:38:11,700 They don't have to concentrate. 552 00:38:12,089 --> 00:38:13,290 They can just do it. 553 00:38:13,319 --> 00:38:14,490 They just do it. 554 00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:16,950 They have that gift. 555 00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:24,450 So if we practice that, then maybe humans have to meditate and use a pure bit of light to do it. 556 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:26,970 Pets can just do it automatically. 557 00:38:27,390 --> 00:38:28,620 That is their gift. 558 00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:30,330 We gave them that gift. 559 00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:31,650 So you. 560 00:38:32,174 --> 00:38:40,545 Can have them to give them love and they use their love as light and push negative energies away. 561 00:38:41,355 --> 00:38:42,674 Pets are a gift. 562 00:38:44,235 --> 00:38:44,745 What is that? 563 00:38:45,335 --> 00:38:46,105 That you're doing? 564 00:38:48,555 --> 00:38:49,755 The pyramid of light. 565 00:38:49,755 --> 00:38:50,535 Mm-hmm. 566 00:38:50,835 --> 00:38:51,185 Moves. 567 00:38:51,615 --> 00:38:57,105 It doesn't matter which way you do your hands. 568 00:38:57,165 --> 00:38:58,995 Okay, I get it. 569 00:38:59,654 --> 00:39:00,165 You can. 570 00:39:00,810 --> 00:39:06,780 Move your hands in any direction and the light still works in any kind of way. 571 00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,990 Well, how come your hands, why? 572 00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:10,800 Why hands? 573 00:39:12,060 --> 00:39:16,110 Because it's an energy area for us. 574 00:39:16,530 --> 00:39:16,920 Yes. 575 00:39:17,940 --> 00:39:20,700 Cuz if you do this, it expands the light. 576 00:39:20,940 --> 00:39:25,530 And even though you don't have your hands shaped like a pyramid, it expands. 577 00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:26,220 Okay. 578 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:26,980 Yes. 579 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:37,380 If you open your hands like this, It's a bigger triangle and if you go like this, it's a smaller triangle. 580 00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:38,190 Yes. 581 00:39:38,250 --> 00:39:41,550 But it doesn't matter if it's big or small, it has the same power. 582 00:39:42,140 --> 00:39:42,430 Okay. 583 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,950 So basically, even though this is the pyramid of life mm-hmm. 584 00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:58,230 As long as you use both your hands in an open manner, you have the pyramid both in open, big. 585 00:39:58,875 --> 00:39:59,715 Small. 586 00:40:00,585 --> 00:40:03,265 Then when you do this mm-hmm. 587 00:40:03,455 --> 00:40:09,255 Yeah, that, that this pushes the power all the way through your body. 588 00:40:10,085 --> 00:40:10,305 Wow. 589 00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:13,455 Which amplifies the healing effect. 590 00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:14,785 Okay. 591 00:40:15,465 --> 00:40:18,735 And it also pushes away negative energies. 592 00:40:18,825 --> 00:40:20,775 Negative energies won't come anywhere near you. 593 00:40:21,915 --> 00:40:26,055 Then if you do this, it amplifies your eyes. 594 00:40:26,265 --> 00:40:27,405 No way. 595 00:40:27,810 --> 00:40:34,379 If you do this with your eyes closed, it will push you into the meditation state really. 596 00:40:34,799 --> 00:40:37,710 And then you stop and you can meditate. 597 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:38,609 Wow. 598 00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:47,399 Like I said before, Irv, and if you look like you might look ridiculous, you can do it anyway. 599 00:40:47,819 --> 00:40:51,330 Those are the things that we try to teach people. 600 00:40:51,930 --> 00:40:53,520 Have you always taught people these things? 601 00:40:54,315 --> 00:40:55,395 Yes. 602 00:40:55,484 --> 00:41:05,085 The ones that know it mostly are the ones that you call the Mons in the Asian area. 603 00:41:05,174 --> 00:41:08,174 They stay in the high mountains in Asia. 604 00:41:08,415 --> 00:41:11,295 Those people also know how to levitate. 605 00:41:11,865 --> 00:41:14,365 Yes, I heard about that. 606 00:41:15,555 --> 00:41:21,674 I am very proud of everyone on your planet right now. 607 00:41:23,115 --> 00:41:24,734 There are a lot of people waking up. 608 00:41:25,665 --> 00:41:26,714 Is this Metatron? 609 00:41:28,545 --> 00:41:37,004 Yes, this is Metatron and I am here to tell you that we are very proud that everyone is waking up. 610 00:41:37,009 --> 00:41:39,645 They are feeling the light. 611 00:41:39,645 --> 00:41:40,605 Mm-hmm. 612 00:41:40,611 --> 00:41:44,714 There are still some that are fighting it, but they are getting it. 613 00:41:45,315 --> 00:41:50,055 It is going to happen soon. 614 00:41:52,215 --> 00:41:52,995 So what you mean? 615 00:41:53,295 --> 00:41:53,985 Yes. 616 00:41:54,075 --> 00:41:54,495 Mm-hmm. 617 00:41:55,595 --> 00:42:03,225 We are very, very excited. 618 00:42:04,155 --> 00:42:11,325 The negative energies are fighting us as hard as possible, but they are not going to win. 619 00:42:11,895 --> 00:42:13,605 You keep doing what you're doing. 620 00:42:13,605 --> 00:42:18,345 Everyone out there keep doing what you are doing. 621 00:42:19,845 --> 00:42:20,625 Everyone. 622 00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:23,430 It is doing well. 623 00:42:25,259 -->

--> 00:42:47,100 Thank you for speaking today. 628 00:42:47,310 --> 00:42:49,470 Thank you all. 629 00:42:51,475 --> 00:42:51,825 Hello. 630 00:42:53,775 --> 00:43:00,075 I just wanted to tell you yes for myself that you are doing very well. 631 00:43:01,154 --> 00:43:05,595 They say that all the time, but I'm telling you myself, who, who is this? 632 00:43:07,305 --> 00:43:08,325 Who am I speaking to You? 633 00:43:09,855 --> 00:43:12,464 I am what you call the source. 634 00:43:14,355 --> 00:43:18,795 Everything is set up as planned and you. 635 00:43:19,649 --> 00:43:20,279 Doing it. 636

00:43:49,170 And you know exactly which one I am talking about. 647 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,460 Yes, I do. 648 00:43:52,020 --> 00:43:52,700 Yes I do. 649 00:43:53,610 --> 00:43:55,050 You are doing very well. 650 00:43:55,290 --> 00:43:58,290 Everyone is doing very well. 651 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,870 I created you that way. 652 00:44:01,050 --> 00:44:11,370 I created everything on your

as light and that's what you are forever going to be. 656 00:44:24,675 --> 00:44:26,325 No matter what. 657 00:44:26,384 --> 00:44:28,335 No matter what. 658 00:44:28,845 --> 00:44:30,525 You are all

him to come back. 662 00:44:49,590 --> 00:44:50,130 Okay. 663 00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:58,410 He was telling me that he was happy to hear the source come through. 664 00:44:59,160 --> 00:44:59,310 Yes.

McKay Wilday is a fascinating guy. He gives off a calm, unflappable and very assured vibe and he comes out with the most unexpected things. I knew I was going to enjoy talking more to him, having spoken briefly to him when I was writing about Alta Trattoria, the restaurant he owns with Carlo Grossi, James Tait and Luke Drum for Broadsheet. I knew he was Grossi alumnus and I knew he had worked at Geranium in Copenhagen (one of last year's top 50 restaurants). I did not know, and how would I, that he once dreamed of being a concert pianist and that one of his first cooking jobs involved being in a pool of live lobster and carefully selecting the night's catch without them wrapping around his legs. McKay has a wealth of knowledge about Ligurian and, in fact other Italian regional food and this chat was absolutely worth being up early on the Saturday morning of a long weekend.

How easy is it to go vegan 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. --- Happy New Year to our dear listeners. As many of you might know, every January, people all over the world participate in the Veganuary challenge to promote and educate everyone on the vegan lifestyle. Because of this, we thought of sharing with you today our conversation with Alice Cosso and Giulia Cimarosti, world travelers and founders of the online vegan community in Genoa, called Vegenova. If they're not busy traveling across the globe, you'll see them scouting for places that offer vegan treats here in Genoa, and the rest of the Ligurian coast. Is it impossible to stay vegan when traveling to Italy? Can someone manage to eat a yummy pizza while skipping the mozzarella? Can we still eat authentic Italian food if we stay away from animal products? How will you find Italian restaurants that accommodate this diet? Surprisingly, Italians are not as close-minded as you think when it comes to adopting a vegan diet. Last year, Alice and Giulia launched the first vegan festival also known as VEGenova Vegan Festival, and it turned out to be a success. In this episode, we discuss the many misconceptions people have about maintaining a vegan diet here in Italy, as well as their journey to being one of the most popular online vegan communities in Italy. While it is true that Italians adore their prosciutto crudo, and Parmigiano, they also offer traditional animal-free meals like ribollita, farinata, and zimin, to name a few. Well, how do you think the famous "Mediterranean diet" came to be? --- So, if you're thinking of organizing a trip to Italy and going plant-based or vegan, you should not miss this episode. And, if you want to learn more about Vegenova's recommendations, and science-backed information on going vegan, you should surely head to our shownotes.

As a kid growing up in La Jolla, Annemarie Brown-Lorenz had swordfish bills sticking up out of the ground in her backyard. Her dad was a fifth generation local fisherman who believed in using every part of the fish. If you take a life from the sea, have the respect to use every part of that life. And Annemarie's grandmother (a first-generation American from Slovenia) grew all her own food; believed if you stuck swordfish bills in the garden it would lend its nutrients to the soil. So forget the garden gnome. That ethos—sustainable fishing, old-world farming (now they call it biodynamic)—was what The Fishery was built on. Annemarie's parents, Judd and Mary Ann, opened the restaurant in 1996. Judd had already built a successful business delivering seafood caught by local boats to San Diego restaurants. For The Fishery, they just knocked a hole in the wall of that seafood warehouse (called Pacific Shellfish) and passed the day's best catches into the kitchen. The Fishery turns 25-years-old this month. During the pandemic, Judd and Mary Ann started spending most of their time at their home in Oregon, putting The Fishery's future in Annemarie's hands. Her husband Nicholas runs Pac Shell. Together, they're overhauling the classic. They brought in exec chef Mike Reidy (who spent a few years under Josia Citrin at 2-star Michelin restaurant, Melisse), a GM from Juniper & Ivy, bar manager Eddie Avila (former Whisknladle), and they're designing a new remodel right now that extends the seating and includes an oysters-and-Champagne bar. This explains why it was so incredibly good when I visited for this month's review in San Diego Mag. Annemarie joins us to talk about deep local roots and the future of a San Diego institution. She brings sushi rolls (dear god, order the Sunshine Roll). In news, the new chef at classic San Diego resort Kona Kai is Joe Magnanelli, who made a name for himself as the exec of Cucina Urbana for a decade; the sale of classic craft cocktail den, El Dorado, to the kind of hospitality group you can get behind, Pouring With Heart (they own Seven Grand, and give their employees health benefits, 401ks, access to mental health services); and Carruth Cellars has endangered the productivity of the SDM staff by opening a new tasting room a block away from our offices at Carté Hotel. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” Troy shares one of the surprise hits of his current search for the best food in Little Italy, the Ligurian flatbread at Davanti Enoteca; David on his quest to eat lunch at every single place in Little Italy goes with Harumama and the High Noon Ramen; Annemarie raves about the new North Park restaurant/gin bar Mabel's Gone Fishing (you can listen to our interview with Mabel's owner on this episode). Next week, exec chef Josh Mouzakes from Arlo at Town & Country gives us his secret tips on how to crank up Thanksgiving dinner at home (hint: a simple way to smoke butter for mashed potatoes).

To get full weekly episodes, bonus episodes, as well as the entire back-catalogue of Patreon bonus episodes, become a Chronicles Tifosi Patron today by subscribing at serieachronicles.com/patreon ****** It was a weekend of big matches and bigger rivalries, as Adriano Del Monte returns to Serie A Chronicles the day after being pitch-side at the Derby della Capitale where he witnessed the atmosphere and the drama as Lazio beat Roma. We get Adriano's eyewitness account of the match as well as his perspectives on Alessio Romagnoli winning the derby on the other side after a youth career in giallorosso, Roma's Italian-Australian youngster Cristian Volpato, Nicolò Zaniolo's ineffectiveness and much more. Inter wasted chances, Kostic was amazing, and counter-attacking brilliance stole the Derby d'Italia for Juventus. Has Juve's reliance on youth since injuries have hit the club been a blessing in disguise? And Adriano's perspective on the leadership of Danilo after his recent sit-down with the bianconeri's Brazilian defender. Napoli overcame Atalanta despite being outplayed, with their ability to adjust and let individual qualities shine. We cover the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League draws for the 7 Italian clubs, who we expect to win their ties and who will face trouble. Milan defeated Spezia with Daniel Maldini on the scoresheet for the Ligurian club at San Siro, and Olivier Giroud sent off for scoring a spectacular winner and losing his shirt in the process, and will he go to the World Cup with France?

La missione Saki, guidata dal capitano Robert Bentley, giunse in Liguria non via aria, come siamo abituati, ma via mare. Il capitano aveva già tentato di entrare in Italia diverse volte passando dalla frontiera con la Francia, all'altezza di Nizza, in maniera simile a quanto fatto da O'Regan e la Donum. Tuttavia, questi tentativi erano tutti andati a monte per il maltempo e, alla fine, si era deciso di sbarcare la Saki sulla costa ligure usando una piccola barca a motore. Tuttavia, anche questo metodo si rivelò non facile da attuare. La costa ligure, infatti, era pesantemente sorvegliata dal nemico, che temeva un possibile sbarco alleato come quello che era avvenuto in Provenza e che avrebbe potuto tagliare le sue retrovie sul fronte italiano. The Saki mission, lead by Captain Robert Bentley, arrived in Liguria not by plane, like we are used to, but by boat. The Captain had already made several attempts to cross the border between Italy and France, similarly to what O'Regan did with his Donum Mission, but to no avail. Bentley's attempts, in fact, all failed because of the bad weather and, in the end, the Commands decided to attempt a landing on the Ligurian coast instead, using a small speedboat. However, this was not an easy task either. The coast was heavily guarded by the enemy, who feared an Allied landing in the area that would cut its rear lines on the Italian front.

We have seen video clips of soldiers shooting into people's houses and Kalemyo, a popular stop on Chindwin cruises, was shelled by artillery last week. This is a genocide by the army against their own people.Paul Strachan founder of Pandaw “Thank you for your kindness in supporting Burma at this time. We have to date raised just over USD120,000Our Pandaw clinic medical teams have been treating a number of gunshot wounds and have ramped up operations to extend to a broader area beyond the seven villages where they normally run day clinics. With these funds we have been able to expand our usual GP clinics with free medications to a much larger geographical area and to more people across rural Burma, many of whom are now in dire circumstances due to the collapse of the economy.As part of this we have also been handing out food parcels like those shown here, each of which costs USD8. We have now delivered 500 of these and hope to roll out more using Pandaw crew members as volunteers. With markets closed, all forms of business and trading shut down, and nearly all work opportunities finished, people are now suffering from real hunger. I know just 500 parcels in a country of fifty-six million is a mere drop in the ocean, but it is better than nothing. However, once we get the logistics up to speed (purchasing and delivery) I believe we can move a lot more.Details of how to support Pandaw and their work to support their community https://www.pandaw.com/river-cruise-news/pandaw-clinics-emergency-appeal Cruise ships' assist efforts in St. Vincent volcano eruptionThe Royal Caribbean and Celebrity ships each have about 100 crew on board and rushed from their layup in Barbados to assist last week, as did the two Carnival vessels that also have been laid up in the region.Two Carnival Cruise Line ships were released from standby off St. Vincent Tuesday, even as Soufrière volcano continued erupting, while a pair of Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises vessels remained in the vicinity.Over the weekend, Royal Caribbean International's Serenade of the Seas carried 137 evacuees from St. Vincent to St. Lucia, Celebrity Reflection has also been on hand.Though as many as 20,000 people have reportedly fled the northern region where Soufrière is located, the Associated Press said Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves might call off the cruise ships since most people are staying on island for now. LISTENER QUESTION:Samuel asks Baz, “Love the quick fire round you have for guests, can you do one with Chris on QM2”Sunrise / SunsetShow time in Royal Court Theatre or Enrichment in IlluminationsAfternoon Tea in Queens Room Ballroom or Quiet moment in Carinthia Lounge?Day ashore or enrichment at sea?In the Commodore Club, my shout, what are you drinking?Speciality Dining in Verandah or traditional Pub Lunch in Golden Lion?Treatment in the Canyon Ranch Spa or relaxing day by the pool?Favourite Location on Qm2If you could sail on her tomorrow, where and why?EMMA CRUISES: Emma Le Teace joins us this week to share the excitement that is building in the UK as the restart of cruising approaches.

Stacie and Mia try Ligurian focaccia from Samin Nosrat of Salt Fat Acid Heat. Recipe: https://www.saltfatacidheat.com/fat/ligurian-focaccia

La storia della missione Blundell Violet inizia in modo davvero inusuale: nessun aereo e nessun salto con il paracadute. Invece, il maggiore Gordon Lett si trova già in Italia, in un campo di prigionia, dopo la sua cattura a Tobruk, in Libia. Quando l'armistizio dell'8 Settembre 1943 causa lo sfaldarsi dello stato Italiano il maggiore lascia il suo campo per darsi alla fuga ma, non potendo raggiungere né il fronte, né la costa ligure, decide di formare una banda partigiana nella vallata di Rossano, entrando così in un sol colpo sia nella storia della Resistenza che in quella del SOE. The story of the Blundell Violet mission starts in a strange way. There is no plane and no parachute. Instead, Major Gordon Lett is already in Italy, as a prisoner of war, captured after the battle of Tobruk. On the 8 September 1943, when the armistice causes the disintegration of the Italian state, the Major leaves his prison camp but, unable to reach the frontline or the Ligurian coast he decides to create a partisan band, entering in this way both the history of the Italian Resistance and that of the SOE.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 390: Monty Waldin hears from Diego Bosoni of Cantina Lunae Bosoni. All the way from the easternmost corner of the Ligurian region, between the Alps and the sea, Cantina Lunae partners with many small producers in their area to continually improve the wines produced. This year's 5StarWine/Wine Without Walls guide awarded 96 points for the cantina's Colli di Luni DOC Vermentino “Etichetta Nera” 2019, naming it the best wine wine tasted.

Giulia Cancedda, aka Cance, is a young Ligurian singer-songwriter who has made herself known in various events, including Musica contro le mafie, thanks to her first single “Conosci?”. Today she introduces her second single, "Sakura". - Giulia Cancedda, in arte Cance, è una giovane cantautrice ligure che si è fatta notare in svariate manifestazioni, tra cui Musica contro le mafie, grazie al suo primo singolo “Conosci?”. Oggi ci presenta il suo secondo singolo “Sakura”.

The inspiration for Season 2 of Style Stories was born out of a desire to get out of the house, however, in choosing a location it was important to find a place that had style and charm but still felt like home. Naturally, I was beyond thrilled when the iconic restaurant Lucio's generously invited me into their family-run business to film and record this series. Lucio's is a personal family favourite for a few reasons, namely, it holds memories of a heavily pregnant me having my last long lunch just prior to giving birth to each of my children. Anyone who has had the pleasure of dining there can give testament to its innate style which pervades through its traditional culinary delights, the art-filled walls, and warmly felt family-run hospitality especially from the man himself Lucio Galletto. As an introduction to the series, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucio where he proudly speaks of his restaurant as a lifestyle. A lifestyle that's beautifully brought together with his Ligurian heritage, his devotion to food, his passion for art, and his beloved family. Watch the full episode at MadeleinePark.co. Produced by MITT Work.

PODCAST EPISODE 12: Stephen Heatley, owner of Kangaroo Island Ligurian Queen Bees, Kangaroo Island Artists are known to be eccentric people, but from my experience, some of the best and most interesting beekeepers are similarly colourful characters. To be so obsessed with one small, yet mighty, creature takes a certain personality, and a little wackiness and a lot of passion seem to be quite usual key ingredients in the recipe of a great beekeeper. That is why I am excited to introduce you to Stephen Heatley, owner of Kangaroo Island Ligurian Queen Bees, Kangaroo Island, for Episode 12 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast. Any of you that have visited Kangaroo Island know is a truly magnificent place. Situated off the mainland of South Australia near Adelaide, this glorious part of the world captivates all who visit its shores. Did you know that over a third of Kangaroo Island is protected as nature reserves? This gem is home to an abundance of native wildlife like sea lions, koalas and a myriad of bird species. In the west, Flinders Chase National Park is famous for its penguin colonies and striking coastal rock formations, stalactite-strewn Admirals Arch and the sculpted Remarkable Rocks. Maybe it is being surrounded by this glorious nature that makes this passionate beekeeper from Kangaroo Island such a special and remarkable character. Stephen grew up on the Australian mainland in New South Wales but moved to Kangaroo Island 13 years ago to pursue his passion for bees. There are only a small number of commercial beekeepers on the island, and while they focus predominantly on producing honey, Stephen has a passion for a special strain of queen bee – the Ligurian Queen Bee – which apparently can only be found in its pure form on the secluded Kangaroo Island, and is believed to have been introduced into Australia by the United States in 1885 from Italy. You will hear just how passionate Stephen is about these unique queens, and you will learn how he is working hard to keep them alive and well in one of Australia's most spectacular and special nature locations. Tune in to hear this eccentric and wonderful beekeeper, queen breeder, and honey producer talk about his business, Kangaroo Island Ligurian Queen Bees; about bouncing back from the fires that devastated the Island earlier in the year, including the time is takes for flora to rejuvenate to the stage where bees can get a good feed; about the Ligurian Bee Monument; and many other very niche aspects of beekeeping with the brilliant and quirky Stephen Heatley. https://www.bensbees.com.au

#ChristopherColumbus [a] (/kəˈlʌmbəs/;[3] before 31 October 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an Italian explorer and colonizer who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that opened the New World for conquest and permanent European colonization of the Americas. His expeditions, sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, were the first European contact with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. #Columbus's early life is somewhat obscure, but scholars generally agree that he was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a dialect of Ligurian as his first language. He went to sea at a young age and travelled widely, as far north as the British Isles (and possibly Iceland) and as far south as what is now Ghana. He married Portuguese noblewoman Filipa Moniz Perestrelo and was based in Lisbon for several years, but later took a Castilian mistress; he had one son with each woman. Though largely self-educated, Columbus was widely read in geography, astronomy, and history. He formulated a plan to seek a western sea passage to the East Indies, hoping to profit from the lucrative spice trade. Following persistent lobbying, Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II agreed to sponsor a journey west, in the name of the Crown of Castile. Columbus left Castile in August 1492 with three ships, and after a stopover in the Canary Islands made landfall in the Americas on 12 October (later celebrated as Columbus Day). His landing place was an island in the Bahamas, known by its native inhabitants as Guanahani; its exact location is uncertain. Columbus subsequently visited the islands now known as Cuba and Hispaniola, establishing a colony in what is now Haiti—the first European settlement in the Americas since the Norse colonies nearly 500 years earlier. He arrived back in Castile in early 1493, bringing a number of captive natives with him. Word of his voyages soon spread throughout Europe. Columbus made three further voyages to the New World, exploring the Lesser Antilles in 1493, Trinidad and the northern coast of South America in 1498, and the eastern coast of Central America in 1502. Many of the names he gave to geographical features—particularly islands—are still in use. He continued to seek a passage to the East Indies, and the extent to which he was aware that the Americas were a wholly separate landmass is uncertain. He never clearly renounced his belief that he had reached the Far East and gave the name indios ("Indians") to the indigenous peoples he encountered. Columbus's strained relationship with the Spanish crown and its appointed colonial administrators in America led to his arrest and removal from Hispaniola in 1500, and later to protracted litigation over the benefits that he and his heirs claimed were owed to them by the crown. Columbus's expeditions inaugurated a period of exploration, conquest, and colonization that lasted for centuries, helping create the modern Western world. The transfers between the Old World and New World that followed his first voyage are known as the Columbian exchange, and the period of human habitation in the Americas prior to his arrival is referred to as the Pre-Columbian era. weki Columbus's legacy continues to be debated. He was widely venerated in the centuries after his death, but public perceptions have changed as recent scholars have given greater attention to negative aspects of his life, such as his enslavement of the indigenous population in his quest for gold and his brutal subjugation of the Taíno people, leading to their near-extinction, as well as allegations of tyranny towards Spanish colonists. Many landmarks and institutions in the Western Hemisphere bear his name, including the country of Colombia and the name Columbia, which is used as a personification for the United States, and appears in many place names there. weki --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

She spent her teenage summers in Northern Italy. She inspired Elise’s love for Italian food by preparing regional Italian dishes she had learned during her visits. She would lay down photos of her in that particular town and tell us about the region and the food she learned. It was Elise's first experience with her mom that made her realize what her destiny was. Her mother had her help make chocolate chip cookies. Fresh out of the oven she fed the family and hot gooey cookie. It was Elise’s first cookie ever. She remembered how unbelievably delicious the cookies tasted and saw that her family felt exactly the same way. She is now the proud owner of Cattivella. Cattivella is where Elise highlights her more than 34 visits to various regions and towns of Italy. She often worked and studied under many Chefs in Italy include the World Famous Mad Butcher of Panzano, Dario Cecchini. She thrives on serving unknown dishes from Italy here in the united states such as Batsoa ( pig trotter polpette) from Piedmonte, Foccacia di Recco from the Ligurian coast to Funghi Crepelle ( mushroom crepes with fonduta sauce).

Today's highlights focus on the Italian Riviera in Liguria. This area is famous for its olive oil and pasta. Ligurian olive oil is lighter in fragrance, soft and subtle in flavor.  I've had the pleasure of coming to this region twice. It's about a 45 minute drive from Nice.   My time here was mostly spent lounging around a villa in La Mortola. The Hanbury Botanical Gardens are here - she's like a lady who hasn't always had the easiest of times. The views are amazing but the cafe is nothing more than a place for the local cat to rest in and perhaps a quick espresso. Un caffe per favore!   https://www.ft.com/content/a006969a-3631-11e7-bce4-9023f8c0fd2e   Nearby Ventimiglia has a wonderful open air market right on the boardwalk on Fridays. I've had beautiful cheese, cheesecake, pasta and pesto from the markets here. Imagine home made pasta with pesto made by hand with a  mortar and pestle.   On a final note, there's Apricale a picturesque hilltop town. I had a simple and perfect meal at Apricale Da Delio, an authentic Italian experience.   Want answers?

Claire Thomson uses store cupboard basics to cook a creative and thrifty dish.

David from Cocoa and Lavender joins me to discuss a guest article I wrote in collaboration with other Italian bloggers on the "Basic Rules of Italian Food." For instance, among the various topics, we talk about the fact that no Italian would dare to cut spaghetti with a knife, to have a cappuccino after a meal, or to cook pasta other than in plenty of salted water at full boil. To conclude the episode, David introduces his latest recipe which is dedicated to the traditional Ligurian pasta shape called "Corzetti". (Music by www.purple-planet.com)
