La Pasquetta in Italy

While many Americans are heading back to work as usual, the Easter holiday continues for another day in Italy. Easter Monday is called La Pasquetta and is often spent outdoors with family and friends enjoying good food and the arrival of warmer weather. Yes, in other words, it is a national picnicking holiday. Yet another reason I love the Italians! Jessica from WhyGo Italy explains a bit more about the traditions:

Easter in Italy is traditionally a holiday spent with family, but the Monday after Easter is another story – it’s still a nationwide holiday, and this one is all about hanging out with friends, often gathering for picnics. Easter Monday is called “La Pasquetta,” or “Little Easter,” in Italian. Many cities will hold outdoor events on Pasquetta, including concerts and games.

So dig out the picnic basket and head outdoors today if you can. If you are working, perhaps you can enjoy your lunch outside. Here are a few ideas for your Pasquetta picnic. Enjoy!

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
