Ciao!
最終日のヴェネツィアのカーニヴァルに行ってきました。
カーニヴァルの最終日を「太っちょの火曜日」と呼びます。
それはなぜか、カーニヴァルの最終日に当たる日の基準となるのはキリストが復活した日イースター（復活祭）で、復活祭は春分の日の直後の満月の日の次の日曜日に当たり、復活祭の１週間前の日曜日から40日前の水曜日が「灰の水曜日」と言われ、その前日までの間がカーニバルなのだそうです。カーニバル後の「灰の水曜日」からイースターまでは精神的な準備が必要なのだそうで、そのために質素な食べ物を食べる風習があったそうです。その精神的な準備がが始まる「灰の水曜日」の前の日がカーニバルの最終日「太った火曜日」でその後に始まる質素な生活を前にたくさん好きなものが食べれたのだそうです。
ちょっとややこしいですね！

Living in Milan, Italy since 1989, I am Takao and I work in the fashion industry.
Japan was in the midst of a bubble economy when I came to Italy, and it was very affordable and there were everything that you needed. However, the shops were closed for lunch breaks, on Sundays and during the summer vacation season. For me coming from Japan, I thought Italy was not easy, a country with an old mentality. Thirty years later, Italy has improved, but I’ve come to think that drawbacks don’t mean delays. In fact, even in Japan some convenience stores are not open 24 hours recently.
In terms of work, we are now entering an era in which it is difficult for even large companies to keep workers until retirement age. This means that Japan will become more individualistic from now on. Italians live a very human lifestyle, despite overdoing it sometimes. I’m sure that Japan will be able to live life a little more humanly in the future. I think it will be accelerated by the arrival of covid.
In this Youtube, I would like to introduce the Italian lifestyle to everyone and propose the good points of Italy that I like, focusing on the Italian dishes which are easy to cook.
