What does Italian heritage mean to newer generations growing up outside of Italy?
In this episode of Italy Answered, Lisa Morales speaks with Daniela Sfara, founder of Italus, about preserving Italian culture, regional identity, artisanal traditions, and intergenerational storytelling in Canada.
Raised between Toronto and Calabria, Daniela grew up immersed in both Italian and multicultural Canadian life. Today, through culinary experiences, digital storytelling, and cultural education, she helps younger generations reconnect with Italy beyond stereotypes and surface-level tourism.
Released during Italian Heritage Month in Canada, this conversation explores the evolving relationship between Italy and the Italian diaspora while reflecting on the traditions, dialects, recipes, and values that continue to shape generations of Canadians with Italian roots.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Growing up between Toronto and Calabria
• The importance of dialect and regional identity
• Why younger generations are reconnecting with Italy
• Slow Food philosophy and cultural preservation
• Food as memory, identity, and community
• The evolution of Italian heritage in Canada
• Building Italus through storytelling and culinary experiences
Daniela also reflects on how traditions continue evolving across generations while remaining deeply connected to family, place, and community.
