Gennarxu and Gennargiu in southern Sardinia, Ennarzu and Bennarzu in the north: we are in the month of January, the first of twelve months and the month that opens all the nursery rhymes taught to children. January is a time of renewal and good intentions, but it also represents a child who is cold, sitting by the fire in one of the many nursery rhymes for toddlers, “Gennàrgiu, mort ”e frius est sètziu peis a fogu.” It is commonly thought that the name of January may originate from one of the oldest Roman deities, Giano ...
