00:00What is one Hindi word that you use a lot?
00:02Thank you, I love you.
00:03This is my dosa.
00:05Your favorite Bollywood star?
00:07Amitabh Bachchan,
00:08Bujji,
00:09Nipupani,
00:09Bhoj Bhasat.
00:10Dosa,
00:11Bhoj Bhasat,
00:12Chalo Bhaiya.
00:15We have the pleasure to have
00:17the ambassador of Italy in India
00:19and Nepal,
00:20Vincenzo De Luca.
00:21Today we're gonna go around Delhi
00:23and have sweet food.
00:24Let's go and have chai.
00:26Yeah.
00:26What is a morning without starting with chai?
00:29Let's go.
00:30First question, ambassador,
00:31your favorite street food in India?
00:32Samosa, definitely.
00:34When you have a chai,
00:35you chit-chat,
00:36you ask fun questions.
00:37So what is your favorite Bollywood star?
00:40I would say Amitabh Bachchan.
00:42He's a historical star from Bollywood.
00:45But I like also the ancient Indian movie director
00:49that is Aditya Jatrayee from Kolkata.
00:52And I like also Mira Nair
00:54and the last production of Slumdog Billionaire.
00:56And what is one Hindi word
00:58that you use a lot throughout your daily life
01:00here in India?
01:01Dhaniavar.
01:02Dhaniavar.
01:03We decided to take the tuk-tuk
01:05because why not?
01:06We are here in Delhi.
01:07Let's take it.
01:08So let's go.
01:11Chalo bhaiya.
01:12We are heading to get a samosa for the ambassador.
01:14That's his favorite street food.
01:16So we should totally get it.
01:17It's definitely my favorite street food.
01:19So how are you gonna do it?
01:20With potato, green pea,
01:23fried, of course,
01:24and some spice.
01:26Yes.
01:26Because without spice,
01:28there is no Indian food.
01:28And there is also no life, right?
01:30And no life.
01:31Exactly.
01:34Dhaniavar, film me then.
01:36Yes, sir.
01:37Dhaniavar, so we are at the Tamil Nadu house.
01:39We're gonna make the ambassador order in Hindi.
01:41Dosa or samosa.
01:43Best way to start a morning here in Delhi.
01:46And it has this like little kick of spice at the end.
01:48Exactly.
01:49Ooh.
01:50Wow.
01:50This is what, one meter?
01:51This is a small dosa.
01:53For starting very light breakfast
01:56or continue the breakfast.
01:58You see here in India,
01:59we eat not so much.
02:01Just a small dosa after a very good samosa.
02:04I think food, equally in Italy and India,
02:06food is love.
02:07So the more they love you,
02:09the more food.
02:10Because we are both generous people.
02:12That's true.
02:13We want to share food.
02:14So let's try the dosa.
02:15It's at the same time crispy,
02:16but also soft.
02:18Yes, exactly.
02:19Very good.
02:19Like this.
02:20Yes.
02:22How is it?
02:23Buonissima.
02:24Buonissima.
02:25I think India and India have one thing in common.
02:27Those are like hand gestures.
02:28What would be one hand gesture from Italy
02:31that you would like to show the audience
02:33that is watching this video
02:34that you think they should learn?
02:35In Southern Italy,
02:36when you do like that,
02:38hey,
02:39means what do you want?
02:41But in the Arab world,
02:42this same gesture means please wait.
02:45And in India,
02:46we know that when you do like that,
02:47it's okay.
02:48Yes.
02:49But if you do like that in Italy,
02:50means maybe no.
02:51That's actually true.
02:53This is the best drink in India.
02:56Nimbu Pani.
02:57Nimbu means lemon.
02:59Pani means water.
03:01As simple as that.
03:03Mujhe Nimbu Pani bot pasar hai.
03:06Ooh.
03:07Wow.
03:09This is art.
03:10Cheers.
03:11Cheers.
03:14Namaste, namaste.
03:15Who is preparing dosa?
03:16Really good dosa.
03:17Top, top dosa.
03:19Congratulations.
03:20Dhaniawad, everybody.
03:21Good job, thank you.
03:22Dosa.
03:23Bota cha.
03:24Melody.
03:25The meme is all over the internet.
03:28Whenever I go in India,
03:30they ask me,
03:30when your prime minister come back here?
03:33Because there was two very successful meeting
03:35last year in March and in September.
03:37And on the social media,
03:39there was a hashtag Melody,
03:40Meloni plus Modi.
03:42Yes.
03:43Hello, good morning.
03:44One coffee and un caffè sospeso.
03:47One coffee for the next flight.
03:51India enters my heart.
03:52In terms of human relation,
03:54friendship,
03:55in terms of cultural experience,
03:57in terms of diversity,
03:58in terms of food,
03:59in terms of diversity of landscape all over India,
04:03from the mountain Amalaya up to Kerala
04:07and the tropical states in the southern India.
04:09What is one thing that you're gonna miss about India?
04:12I miss this humanity.
04:13I miss this capacity and this attitude
04:16from the Indian side,
04:17as well as from the Italian side,
04:19because in this we are quite similar
04:21to become friends,
04:22to attach great importance to the human dimension,
04:25the relations with people and friends
04:28and all the experience we have always had,
04:30very great hospitality all over India.
04:33Thanks again for your time.
