Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb spalcanare, which means to fling or to throw open.

See the verb used below in its context:

Quando d'inverno spalancavo le finestre di casa, mia nonna mi rimproverava dicendomi: “Chiudi le finestre, è freddo! Dove vivi, al Colosseo?”

When I used to fling open the windows in the winter, my grandmother would scold me, saying: "Close the windows, it's cold out! Where do you live, in the Colosseum?"
