📖 À propos Gennaro
Gennaro est la forme napolitaine et du sud de l'Italie du nom latin Januarius, signifiant « de janvier » ou « consacré à Janus », le dieu romain des commencements et des passages. Le nom est indissociable de San Gennaro, le saint patron de Naples, dont le miracle annuel de la liquéfaction du sang attire des pèlerins chaque septembre. Peu répandu hors d'Italie, Gennaro porte de profondes racines dans la culture campanienne et perdure dans la tradition italo-américaine à travers la célèbre Festa di San Gennaro de New York.
