00:07Amitabh Bachchan,

00:08Bujji,

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.
