It’s interesting to see acqua was originally pronounced aqua
I remember my worst mistake regarding Italian numbers occurred when I said diciassei instead of sedici, immediately being corrected by my teacher. (Because in Portuguese we count ...onze, doze, treze, quatorze, quinze, dezesseis...)
My favourite fact from that video is that 2019 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple: \( 2019^2 = 1155^2 + 1656^2 \). EDIT: Fixed. Thanks to Mark Hardman for spotting the typo!

Not to be a nit picker but, from the video, it is actually: \( 2019^2 = 1155^2 + 1656^2 \).

Thanks for spotting that. I've edited my post to fix it.
