The Italian Easter-time saying goes, “Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi”, meaning “Christmas with family, Easter with whoever you want". While the week leading up to Easter Sunday is filled with procession and rituals, both solemn and celebratory, the festivities don’t stop on Sunday. In Italy, they’re extended for one more day called Pasquetta, literally meaning “Little Easter". It's typical for Italians to take a “scampagnata,” a day trip to the countryside. Many Italians have picnics in parks such as il Parco degli Acquedotti in Rome 💚 Link in story for all the details. Buona Pasquetta a tutti!
