Episode 20: Povertà – uno dei lati oscuri dell’Italia

We have always talked about how wonderful Italy is, but what do you know about its dark sides, such as poverty?

Today we talk about Italy’s state of poverty. But what is poverty? Is it absolute? Is it relative?

In this episode, we will talk about the numerous questions related to poverty including:

  • How bad is it right now compared to 20 years ago?

  • Did COVID-19 cause it? And what about the war in Ukraine?

  • Is there a way out of it?

As you will listen to our episode, you will realize that the poverty crisis is a complex matter. In Italy, it is part of a vicious cycle.  People may end up being jobless and homeless for good. Once you’re in the system, you cannot get out of it.

Listen NOW to our conversation and learn more about Italy’s ongoing poverty crisis while enriching your Italian language learning experience.
