Buona Pasqua! Italian words & Idioms about Easter

In this video, I’ll show you some Italian words and also a couple of very famous expressions about Easter. Traditionally Italians celebrate Christmas at home with their families, but Easter is another story! Usually, you gather with friends, do activities outdoors or go traveling. And hence a very common saying that I cover in the video.
