What did they eat in the Middle Ages? (with Camilla Bertoletti)
Talking about food seems like an obvious and apparently banal topic: eating and drinking are actions necessary for survival, always. So what could there be to say about this topic, about something that has existed since man appeared on Earth? Well, when dealing with the Middle Ages there is never anything obvious! In a period characterized by strange beliefs, superstitions and a strong religiosity, the relationship with food was also very particular and there are many curiosities to discover about this too. So, in a new and exciting live we will discover, with the help of Camilla Bertoletti, research fellow at the University of Milan and doctor in Mediolatin Philology, how they ate in the Middle Ages, what foods they ate, what they didn't and why, but above all, what beliefs and curiosities revolved around food. A journey into taste that will not disappoint you, because when we talk about food, anecdotes and strange curiosities are around the corner.

Women's Hair in the Middle Ages (with Virtus Zallot)
Men and women with very long hair or cruelly shaved heads; old men proud of their gray hair or who hide it with dye; hair exhibited or repudiated, attacked or celebrated, neglected or beautifully styled; used to lift, drag, hold and even to fly. At the center of ordinary or extraordinary gestures, in the Middle Ages hair indicated the social and existential condition, distinguishing the poor from the rich, the good from the bad, the neighbor from the stranger, the layman from the cleric, the honest woman from the dissolute, the virgin from the married woman, the vain from the humble. We will talk about all this in this new and exciting live together with Professor Virtus Zallot, professor of Medieval Art History at the Santa Giulia Academy of Fine Arts in Brescia, and author of the book "On the Heads in the Middle Ages" published by Il Mulino. Costantino, creator of the page Pillole di Storia will join us in hosting this episode. It will be an unusual journey into the Middle Ages observed from another point of view, that of hair, unexpected protagonists of real or imaginary stories, handed down by literature and art. =================================================<br /><br />DISCLAIMER: All audios on the channel have been dubbed into English by AI from the original Italian videos.
