A fuitina (the escape) - Episode for advanced speakers


Listen Later

This time we talk about the "fuitina"! Maybe you heard the romantic version of it. When a couple runs away because his or her family is against the marriage. 

But unfortunately, it wasn’t always like that. In Sicily until the end of the 70s, it could happen that a woman could be kidnapped by someone who wanted to marry her against her will.

In this episode, we hear the story of a kidnapping that ended badly. It happened in Sicily in the 1960s and it’s told by someone who knew the guy who wanted to get married and -that time he didn’t succeed.

The movie I recommend to know more is "La ragazza del futuro" (2022).
