 | Caro Lettore,
Welcome to this weekend's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! Strega ("witch" in Italian) is an Italian herbal liqueur produced since 1860 by the S. A. Distilleria Liquore Strega in Benevento, Campania, Italy.
In the About.com Italian Language forums a community member wants to know how to refer to more than one orange, and community members ponder the difference between pensare and credere. Plus the twenty-seventh canto of Purgatorio in Dante's The Divine Comedy in both Italian and English, in which the poet, while asleep on the stairway to the Earthly Paradise, dreams of Leah and Rachel. Lastly, there are Italian abbreviations and acronyms beginning with the letter I. | |
