5 Holy Week Italian traditions

The Holy Week is not only about making great celebrations, it is also important to keep the traditions. We have already told you about the 5 Italian places where you may live a unique experience this holiday. However, there are many more things you should know in order to live it as an Italian. From Ice Tech we would like to tell you some.

The Easter egg, the protagonist.

Although in other countries Easter does not coincide with the Holy Week, in Italy it does coincide. The shops are filled with chocolate eggs with different shapes, wrappings and sizes. You will not know which one to choose!

Processions and rituals.

The streets are filled with processions that run through towns and villages for hours. Whether you are a believer or not, it is a worth seeing performance.

La Pasquetta.

It is an additional day of celebration. On the Resurrection Monday, known as the Easter Monday of the Angel, the Italians visit their friends and family.

The Italian sweets.

La Colomba or Easter Dove is a typical sweet of these dates. It is a fermented dough of sweet bread, enriched with eggs, sugar and butter, very similar to the Panettone and finished with a characteristic glaze with almonds. Crunchy on the outside and very soft inside. A finger-licking pleasure!

The lamb, the main dish.

In every Italian family meal you can not miss a good baked lamb for the whole family. Of course, this has to be accompanied by a good brodetto a strong and thick sauce, a special one of these days.

Whether you go with your family or alone, to Rome or to Florence, Italy is one of the best destinations to experience the Holy Week, at least once in a lifetime. Live this experience with a good drink with Ice Tech ice.
