Journalist Samantha Ferro opens this vibrant new episode with a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection — the essence of CRAVE Italy.

The episode begins with Arianna Guadagnoli, our new host of L'Angolo della Lingua Italiana. A first-generation Italian and nursing student at Emory University, Arianna welcomes everyone into an inclusive and engaging space to explore Italian language and culture.

We then travel to Mexico's Riviera Maya to meet Dalila Gelsomino, entrepreneur and founder of Buy with Dali. Dalila shares her journey from Italy to the U.S. and now Mexico, where she connects Italian creativity with American investors seeking lifestyle and real estate opportunities abroad.

Finally, we return to the heart of Italy through food with Viola Buitoni, renowned chef instructor and food writer. She brings us a vibrant, seasonal dish: Pasta with beets, goat cheese, and pistachios — a flavorful celebration of color, health, and tradition.
