Easter Monday, more commonly known as Easter Monday, is one of the most beloved holidays by Italians.

After Easter celebrations, traditionally dedicated to the family, Easter Monday is the perfect opportunity to spend a day outdoors with friends and relatives.

Easter Monday and the Italian tradition

Tradition dictates that they should be organised trips outside the, picnic in parks, mountain excursions or outings in the countryside. These are some of the most popular activities. A packed lunch is a must, with typical dishes such as savory pies, grilled meats, cold cuts, cheeses and leftovers from Easter lunch.

In many regions of Italy, Easter Monday is also enriched by popular festivals and ancient religious rites. In Umbria, for example, traditional processions take place, while in some cities in the South, festivals with folk music and dances are organized. Despite local differences, the common thread remains the same: celebrating spring and rebirth by spending convivial moments in the open air. Even if the weather is not always favorable, Italians do not easily give up this tradition, armed with blankets, picnic baskets and a great desire to be together.
