Hello everyone, welcome back to ItalianPod101.com.

My name is Desy, mi chiamo Desy, mi chiamo Desy.

And in this video, we're going to talk about the top 10 websites in Italy.

I dieci siti più visitati in Italia.

The most visited website in Italy.

So of course, we have the same that the rest of the world has, right?

So such as Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram.

But I think all of you know them, so I'm going to focus on the Italian websites.

So given that all of them end with .it, so .it, that's how we say it in Italian, .it.

I'll just say the name without saying .it every time.

First one, La Repubblica.

Repubblica.

Which literally means Republic, as you may guess.

And that's the online version of Il Giornale, La Repubblica.

The newspaper, La Repubblica.

So it's about news.

The articles that you could read on the actual paper, you can see them online as well.

You can find sections such as Politica, Politica, Politics.

Mondo, word.

Economia, which is economy or business.

Sport, sports.

And spettacoli, entertainment.

Also on the website, you can find a live broadcast from La Camera dei Deputati.

So the House of Representatives.

Then we have Il Corriere, Corriere, which is also a newspaper.

So news are the most visited ones.

Corriere actually means like messenger, messaggero.

Corriere, like courier, but of news.

Here too, you can Spoglia il Giornale, Spoglia il Giornale.

So browse the newspaper, read about cronache, cronache.

Which literally means chronicles, but it's more like reports or focuses.

So again, another way to say news, like reports.

Letteratura, letteratura, literature.

But also opinioni, opinioni, opinions of some writers of the newspaper.

Also, and this is a nice touch in my opinion,

there's a section called Buone Notizie, Buone Notizie.

So good news.

Number three, we have Poste, Poste, Postal Office, Poste, Postal Office.

This is about telematic services, Servizi Telematici, Servizi Telematici.

And it's a portal of news, once again, but not from a newspaper.

Here on top of the sections that we saw for the other website,

you could find things like viaggi, travels, viaggi, motori, engines, so cars basically,

motori, oroscopo, oroscopo, oroscopo.

And this can actually also be a searching engine.

Number five is an agency of news this time.

It's called ANSA, ANSA.

So it's an agenzia, agenzia, ANSA.

Again, like the other same sections, but also news locali, news locali.

So local news, primo piano, primo piano, which is actually a close-up, like with the camera,

but it's used to say focus on, or ultima ora.

Literally, last hour, so last minute news.

So what is the most recent thing?

L'ultima ora.

It's not only about news, we also have entertainment.

In fact, number six is Mediaset, Mediaset.

Mediaset is actually a channel group from TV, a private one,

actually more than one because there are many.

So here you can see the programazione, programazione, the schedule.

Programming of the week or the day of programs, programmi, of serie TV, serie TV,

so TV series, but also film, movies, or documentari, documentari, documentaries.

Here you can also see diretta TV, diretta TV, which is the live broadcast.

Then subito, subito, which literally means right now.

In this case, it's about buying and selling.

So it's supposed to mean that you're going to get something right away,

being that money if you're selling something or the thing that you're searching for.

In fact, on the home page, it asks you cosa cerchi, cosa cerchi?

What are you searching for?

What are you looking for?

Cosa cerchi?

So it's all about the wind basically.

But also information about allerte meteo, which is weather alert.

And here they go from green, verde, to rosso, red, allerta meteo.

So of course when there is a red, allerta meteo, you don't want to go out.

Moving to something that is really Italian, food.

We have giallo zafferano, giallo zafferano, which is actually a vlog and it means yellow saffron.
