🇮🇹 The Italian Way: An Italian-style Birthday
Italian-style birthdays are renowned for their warmth, delicious food, lively atmosphere, and emphasis on spending quality time with loved ones. In this guide, we'll walk you through the essential elements to throw a memorable Italian-style birthday celebration.

🎂 La Torta in Faccia: In certain regions of Italy, particularly in southern regions like Sicily and Calabria, it’s a playful tradition to smash a piece of birthday cake into the birthday person’s face. This lighthearted gesture is believed to bring good luck and laughter, symbolizing a wish for abundance and joy in the coming year.

🌜 La Vigilia di Compleanno: The night before a birthday, known as “la vigilia di compleanno,” holds special significance in Italian culture. It is often celebrated with a festive dinner attended by family and close friends, setting the stage for the main birthday celebration the following day.

🤑 Your birthday, your treat: In Italy, the birthday person usually pays for the celebration. If you invite friends for dinner or drinks, you’re expected to cover the bill. Many people prefer home celebrations to save money. At work, the birthday person brings treats to share.

🫂 No big bashes: Unlike other cultures, extravagant parties are less common. Italians often celebrate with intimate gatherings of close family and friends.

How to Say “Happy Birthday” in Italian?
👉 Buon compleanno! (Formal and most used)
👉 Tanti auguri di buon compleanno! (Formal with added wishes)
👉  Feliz compleanno! (Informal and borrowed from Spanish)
👉  Happy Birthday! (English is widely understood)

Birthday Gift Etiquette
✅ Do’s in Gifting
- Consider bringing a thoughtful gift, such as a bottle of fine wine, artisanal chocolates, or a bouquet of fresh flowers.
- Consider practical gifts like gift cards, experiences, or homemade items.
- Wrap your gift nicely, presentation matters in Italy.

❌ Don’ts in Gifting
- It’s not considered polite to show how much you’ve spent on a gift. Make sure to remove or cover the sticker price to avoid any embarrassment or awkwardness.
- Don’t arrive empty-handed.

🎃 Halloween in Italy: a crosspath of respect, tradition and spooky fun

Do Italians Celebrate Halloween?

Yes! 🦇 Halloween is celebrated in Italy, and it’s becoming more popular each year!

How is Halloween celebrated In Italy?
In big cities like Rome, Milan, and Florence, you’ll find bustling streets filled with kids in costumes shouting “Dolcetto o Scherzetto!” (Trick or Treat!). Stores and markets are decorated with spooky decorations.

Costume parties are all the rage, with many people dressing up as traditional monsters or spooky characters from popular films. Some towns host themed events like haunted houses or Halloween fairs, making it a fun outing for families and friends alike. You might even stumble upon Halloween-themed parades, where participants showcase their creative costumes while marching through the streets.

The modern and the ancient together

In Italy, Halloween often overlaps with La Festa di Ognissanti (All Saints’ Day) and Il Giorno dei Morti (Day of the Dead), both significant dates on the Catholic calendar.

Traditional Italian food eaten around Halloween
While Italy may adopt American Halloween customs, it also maintains its own unique food traditions around the holiday. Two popular treats associated with All Saints and All Souls Day in Italy are “fave dei morti” (beans of the dead) and “ossa di morto” (bones of the dead). These sweets, often made with almonds and sugar, are symbolic offerings in honor of the deceased.

Another fall favorite is pan dei morti (bread of the dead), a spiced cookie made with dried fruits and nuts. In some regions, Italians bake special breads or cakes as part of the ritual of remembering and celebrating the dead. These traditional dishes reflect Italy’s deep connection to food and family during times of remembrance.

Come to Italy and enjoy the mixture of ancient rituals and spooky modern celebrations!

🤌The Italian Way: The typical Italian breakfast

The food items may not be so certain, but surely everyone can guess that no traditional Italian breakfast is complete without a coffee. Some Italians prefer espresso, which is the coffee of choice throughout the day, but breakfast is also an acceptable time to have a cappuccino.

🥐 vs 🍳 Do Italians prefer sweet or savory food for breakfast ?

There is no doubt that Italians in general prefer a sweet breakfast to a savory one. In fact, only approximately 7% of Italians say that they eat a savory breakfast.

A savory Italian breakfast would typically include thin slices of meat such as prosciutto, bresaola, mortadella, salami, along with eggs, and cheeses on bread.

The most common classic breakfast food in Italy is the “cornetto”. A cornetto is often filled with some kind of cream, custard, jam or chocolate spread, and accompanied by a coffee.

The cornetto is also wrongly called croissant or brioche. Real cornetto takes its origin from the kipfel, a traditional pastry from Wien, which is different from the French croissant in shape and ingredients, such as eggs.

Some Italians choose to eat cereal, and these are readily available in supermarkets, but are generally more popular among children. If adults eat cereal for breakfast in Italy it is usually with yogurt as opposed to milk, or milk alternatives, which are also becoming increasingly popular in recent years. It is very common to see Italians choosing soy milk, oat milk, or other alternatives to cow’s milk these days.

🏠 vs 🍴Does the traditional Italian breakfast take place at the bar or at home?
One peculiarity of Italy is the amount of Italians who prefer to have breakfast at a “bar” rather than at home.

These bars are not to be confused with British or American bars which primarily serve alcohol, but are more similar to what would be considered a small cafe.

The choice of whether an Italian has breakfast at home or at a bar depends on a few things, including time, family habits, and budget, but in general, it is possible to have a traditional Italian breakfast at a bar for very little money.

Come with us to visit the Colosseum, the Pompeii excavations or the Leaning Tower. Either way, you’ll surely have a blast!
