Truly the fun way to learn Italian! You’ve used di recente on the show, but I understand that the adverb recentemente is also quite used in Italian. Which is more common, di recente or recentemente? – Are there any other similar examples?

E allora, chi ha fatto la prima gallina?

Tommaso, the adverbs “di recente” and “recentemente” are interchangeable, and you can use either one. In the case of “di nuovo” vs. “nuovamente” (again), you would use the former.
