Milan-based food writer and food tour guide Jaclyn DeGiorgio veers fuori strada from her usual purview to discuss one of Italy's most cherished pop culture traditions: the Sanremo Italian Song Festival. As the contentverse is saturated with "Italysplaining" and "how to be Italian" tips by self-styled authorities, she wanted to talk about an occasion that's super special to the Italians.
