Finland's first pizzeria was founded in Hamina city in the year 1961 by an Italian ship cook Giovanni ”Nino” Tedeschi. His restaurant was very popular and there it took off. Here's a scene from the Mika Kaurismäki's 1985 movie Rosso: "Rosso - Olen suomalainen". The Finnish version of the song was released in 1983 and it's a Finnish classic. "Sono un finlandese" sang by Kari Tapio here: "Kari Tapio - Olen Suomalainen". Rosso is also an Italian style restaurant chain in Finland, at least that's what they claim: "Rosso 40 vuotta aikajana". That "Italian" in that movie Rosso is a Finnish actor Kari Väätänen. I don't know how authentic he sounded. Here's a music quiz by a popular comedy group Kummeli: "Musavisa - Gruppo Sicilia - Italia". Maybe they did a better job at passing as Italians.

never heard that pea soup (hernekeitto) should be eaten on Monday, even school had pea soup and pancake on Thursday. and I swear I didn't go to school in the Middle Ages

The difference between 50kmh and 75kmh is pretty big actually since the stopping distance almost doubles.

Love you man :D love from Finland. Been Italy once, i loved it. I will visit again.

We dont have 6 months of dark and six months of light anywhere. It is only at north and south poles that do that. But in the northest part of finland, utsjoki, there is 2.5 months of no sunset in the summer and two months of no sunrise in the winter. And even when it comes up, it stays there only a while at first and vice versa. The same phenomenon is of course happening in the southern finland too, but less. for example in the city of Tampere, where I live, allbeit the sun does go belowe the horizon, but it only goes so little that there is no official darkness in for about a month in the summer. And again, of course vice versa.

When i go to Kotipizza, i always order pizza Berlusconi with pineapple. It is DELICIOUS.🎉😂

I was 2 minutes and 25 seconds into this video, and I had to subscribe already! I love your love for our country Finland!

We Finnish have time to sleep at winter, so at the summer you just take long nap every now and then and spend most of the time enjoying life (and warmth). So the sun shining all day long doesn't matter :) ...Dark season is called "kaamos" in Finnish, and both kaamos and nightless night ("yötön yö" in Finnish) are complete in North (Lapland including the Scandinavian part and of course Northern Russia)

im living 130km from Artic Circle, we have light about, totally light (Sun wont get down) about 1,8 months. And Darkness (Sun wont rise) about 3 weeks. But the light and darkness is, when you are sleeping, you wont notice that thing, you can think that sun wont rise or sun won sunset.

The religion in Finland is mainly Lutheran Christian but we’re really not that religious, most people go with it because of tradition.

Hey, youtuber "Irish in Finland" covers quite a lot of finnish mythology in his videos if you are interested. Kalevala is very important, but it is mainly created by Lönnrot, based of course to the old poems and spells, which we have over 10k recorder in last two, three hundred of years. It is the biggest saved folk lore database in the world. They can be found online. The poems contradict each other and are about everything under the sky. Very interesting and endless possibilities for studying. Impossible to translate mostly though very accurately since it is old finnish and words are bended however (:

You need to try traditional rye bread made from sour dough! That is the best kind there is!

Now its starts to be sunny at before 8 and at 19 its dark. Soo soon sun sun sun!!

When finns go to estonia to get cheap alcohol, they dont bring only bag or two of it but i have seen people bringing literally a van fully stuffed as much + trailer on it also stuffed in full 😂😂😂😂👌 my friend brought like 1500 liters of alcohol 😂😂😂😂

Thanks again Mauro !! Some facts of that video were pure nonsense but you know Finland so no problem 🙂; keep up the good work.

And i rarely drive my headlights on, i use parking lights only to save my old Lada's alternator 😂

47:47 - What I'm doing right now! :D

Finnish is written and spoken exactly the same way. Most languages are not. Fun fact, a Finnish person can basically read Japanese perfectly if the words are written in western letters.

You had the worst and most dry type of Rye bread. You need to try Reissumies for example :)

Translation on "kalsarikännit" was a bit off. kalsarit means underwear like boxers or whitey tightys so kalsarikännit would be more like getting drunk at home and not even bothering to put pants on.

The Swedish salmiakki chocolate ball Salmiakbomben was the best sweet at this year's Salmiakki picnic, according to the jury. The handmade ball received a grade of 9+ on the traditional school grade scale (4-10). Chocolate praline rolled in salmiakki powder hides soft toffee inside. Salmiakbomben is currently manufactured in Stockholm by the Lakrits Sverige company. The product was created by Lena Johansson of the Ett Chokladeri company twenty years ago.

Yeah salmiakki ruless!!!!

Name Suomi comes from "swamp". In finnish "suo" and finland is full of swamps... so someone thought to name it Suomi

38:20 - But it is still a fine you have to pay... And if you make a million a year, you should pay hundres of thousands.. 100 bucks/euros would be a pittence for a millionaire, but when they have to pay hundreds of thousands, that's equality. :)
