Every Marche family has at least one Zita and one Zitu ready to liven up meals and celebrations.
Zita
(your aunt) is the number-one source of gossip: she always knows everything, often before you do, and tells it without filters. She’s the living newspaper of the community, capable of turning a trivial piece of news into an epic tale.- Your aunt. Knows all the gossip before you do, and has no filter when telling it.
Zitu
(your uncle), on the other hand, is the family legend. He has an endless repertoire of anecdotes, always introduced with “Back in my day…” or “Do you remember when…”. Half of these stories are probably made up, but it doesn’t matter: without him, family meals would be infinitely duller.- Your uncle. Family legend. Has at least one story starting with “Back in the day…” that may or may not be true.
