You will be able to plunge into the festive atmosphere with your head, as well as combine business with pleasure: buy your loved ones as a gift items from leading brands at an amazingly low price. New Year is a time of miracles, so in no case do not pass by the lottery cash desks. It is likely that already in January you will receive a gift from Santa Claus himself, who, by the way, is called Babbo Natale in Italy.

New Year's table

The Italians sit at the New Year’s table at about 9 pm on December 31, on the very eve of the holiday. According to the old tradition, 13 dishes should be present on the festive table - this will bring good luck in the coming year. Here you can see a wide variety of dishes: smoked salmon, eel, turkey stuffed with mushrooms or nuts, and lentils required. There is no such New Year's table in Italy, wherever there is pork: the inhabitants of the country of wine and the sun believe that the pig is slowly but surely moving forward, therefore they simply cannot imagine this holiday without pork. Italians prefer to celebrate the long-awaited holiday with a glass of champagne, or with a glass of ... beer, believing that this drink will bring good luck.

Where is traditionally celebrated?

New Year in Italy is traditionally celebrated noisily and in a large company. That is why on New Year's Eve in Italian squares and streets you just can’t push around: crowds of local residents and tourists leave their homes and go on public festivities, infecting everyone with their festive mood, congratulating everyone and everyone.

For example, residents of the Italian capital celebrate New Year in Piazza del Popolo, drinking champagne directly from the throat of a bottle, after which they break it at the foot of the monument. The most courageous adventurers jump from a bridge into the Tiber River.

Holidays in the mountains

You can meet this wonderful winter holiday in the mountains of Italy, which are replete with numerous ski resorts. Everyone can find their own resort: there are places for extreme people who cannot sit still, for active youth and for families.

New Year's Eve can be celebrated both in the resort itself and in one of the villages near which they are located. On New Year's Eve, most tourists prefer to make wishes and drink champagne on the small streets of towns that are located at the foot of the mountains.

Italy offers many options for celebrating the New Year. No matter where you meet this holiday. Whether it is Rome, Naples, Venice or a ski resort in the Alps - the festive mood, the hospitality of Italians and the colorful start of the coming year are guaranteed.
