📖 Sobre Gennaro
Gennaro é a forma napolitana e do sul da Itália do nome latino Januarius, que significa "de janeiro" ou "consagrado a Jano", o deus romano dos começos e das transições. O nome é inseparável de San Gennaro, o padroeiro de Nápoles, cujo milagre anual da liquefação do sangue atrai peregrinos todo mês de setembro. Embora raro fora da Itália, Gennaro carrega raízes profundas na cultura campana e permanece vivo na tradição ítalo-americana pela famosa Festa de San Gennaro em Nova York.
