Banquets also has a long history in Italy. It is a known history in this country.

They are often seen as a high honor event. They date back to the Roman times where only the rick of the rich was allowed to go.

So, when the whole town was invited her step sisters NEEDED to go if they wanted any chance to be Queen, Because of how low she was thought of and treated her stepmother would say she didn't belong at these events.

I also chose a date tree. Not only are they mentioned a ton in the story but it is also most commonly found in Italy!

This date tree is mentioned as the tree where the doves lived but also mentioned as the tree where Zezolla always visits.

Zezolla also has a deep connection to the date tree as it reminds me and Zezolla of her childhood with the Governess, who treated her like her own mother would.

I chose "Marjorie" by Taylor Swift as a song to relate to The Cinderella story. With lyrics like "Never be so clever
You forget to be kind," I can relate this to Zezolla and how she was always kind and had good morals.

This also plays into the theme of all Cinderella stories and how the theme and moral always say "Good things happen to good people" and "Kindness will reward you".

Most fairy tales have the role are rewarding good deeds with good outcomes and bad choices with bad outcomes.

Other lyrics include "What died didn't stay dead". Even though her mother passed away her spirit would live on. The dove "became" her mother and did technically stay dead.

Both lyrics stuck out to me and made it so symbolic.

Similarities:

After their father remarried, they became a servant for their new family.

They both went to the princes' ball even though they were forbidden from going.

They both find their happily ever after

Both stories have sad/bad endings for the evil stepsisters showing karma.

Both end up marrying the prince.

You can truly see where the Disney adaptations, still keep some from the original endings and key points.

In "Italy's Cenerentola Cinderella" a dove watches over her, after the dove starts to live in the tree which came from the flowerpot. The dove that lives in the tree grants her all her wishes she has wanted.

In Italy Doves are usually connected to faith along with peace, love, and renewal.

We can relate this to the Cinderella story by the fact that Zezolla shows all these characteristics.

Love: Love is shown multiple times throughout the story. Not only is it what emotion is between the Prince and Zezolla but it is also a characteristic Zezolla showed towards her family and others.

The moral of the story includes:

Treat people with kindness

Good things come to those who wait

This is shown as the moral of the story because even when Cinderella is put into labor and talked bad upon, she never complains.

She always does what she told to do by her stepmother at whatever cause. She asks politely to go to the ball and when declined she doesn't argue.

Thats when she goes to wish on the dove and she gets good karma. She goes to the ball and the prince falls in love with her and she gets a happy ending.

The moral is if you are a good person good thing will come to you and vice versa.

Zezolla was a good person and got to be a Queen. The stepsisters were mean the whole time and got absolutely nothing all they did was complain to their mother but in the end, it didn't get them far.

The fairy tale begins with a man who we already learn was a widower. He only has one daughter which makes us think it is Cinderella, Because the girl didn't have a mother, he would keep a governess to would teach her basic things that were known as normal for girls to do. This included chainwork and knitting.

They seemed to have a good relationship, but Zezolla (Cinderella) didn't have friends, so she was often very lonely. Zezolla talks to her and compliments her saying how she would have thought the governess WAS her mother because of how nice and caring she was.

One day when her dad remarried to the governess, a dove flew into the room telling her that whatever Zezolla needs she can request it to the Dove of the Fairies and she will get her wish.

Zezolla's life changes as she adjusts to her new life with her new family. She is told that the doves grant her wishes if she still chooses to be a good person. She is put to work and becomes the maid. (Like in all the Cinderella stories.) Her stepsisters taunt her for Cinder looks, so her new name becomes "Cenerento, " the Italian translation of Cinderella.

She got her dress and chose to go to the ball. She ends up making her stepsisters jealous of her beauty, and the king is starstruck by her looks and dances with her.

When the spell would wear off, she would escape to the date tree (the tree now with the flowerpot she used) and repeat the spell. She loses her slipper, and as the original story ends, the prince finds the foot that fits the slipper. Zezolla's foot is the match, and they fall in love. The King marries Zezolla. As for the stepsisters, they complain to their mom and don't have to cut off their toes. The King and Zezolla fall in love and live happier ever after.
