“A Natale puoi…”
There’s one thing Italians associate with Christmas every year and that’s the lavender box of the pandoro Bauli. The Bauli brand has been around since 1937, when Ruggero Bauli opened his workshop in Verona (AKA Romeo and Juliet’s town) where in 1950 he started producing pandoro, the traditional Veronese Christmas cake. However, besides producing very good Christmas cakes and sweets, the Bauli company has been producing also memorable commercials for its products, you know, in the Coca-Cola style, with songs that you still remember and sing after many years.
This commercial was running in the 80′s (when I was attending middle school and eating sweets with no guilt, just to give you an idea…).
Most recently, Bauli launched a new commercial which features, in my opinion, one of the best Italian Christmas songs titled “A Natale puoi” (literally translated as “At Christmas time you can…”).
Oh, by the way, if you want to sing it AND taste the pandoro at the same time, just remember that you can find it on Amazon! Is there anything Amazon doesn’t sell?
Merry Christmas everyone!
