Once I found free online German course "warum nicht" [1] which I enjoyed to listen to. The idea of the course is that you listen to stories of one guy and his invisible ghost friend. I haven't learnt German though but at least I enjoyed the stories.
Do you know any similar Italian course? If not, maybe some podcasts or YouTube stories which could be interesting and possible to understand for beginner? Something in the form of pleasurable listening? Some radio programs?
