๐ About This Video
What do bingo, beans, chocolate coins, and a 150-year-old family game box have in common? In this video, Wendy Holloway is joined by Lolly Martin and Giulia Scarpaleggia to talk about Tombola, La Befana, and the Italian holiday traditions that bring generations together around the same table. From slightly risquรฉ Neapolitan Tombola cards to New Yearโs Eve lentils for good luck, this conversation explores why these rituals still matter โ and why, according to todayโs teenagers, Tombola is definitely not โcringe.โ
