What do Italy’s most famous explorer and the host of ItalianPod101.com have in common? Yes! They are both Italian. But there’s something else. What is it? Give up? Both have the same first name! Marco Moraglia hosts ItalianPod101.com, while the other Marco explored China. We’ll let you work out the other Marco’s surname. If you’re not sure, it’s in this lesson’s pdf notes. (Hint: think of soccer played on horseback!)
In today’s class we shall talk about two very common Italian given names, Marco and Elisa. When an Italian baby is born, be it boy or girl, a lot of thought is given to their names. We will see their historical origins and derivatives, along with some famous characters that bore those names.
