A short course on Italy, culture and traditions. Roman Catholic Church is the most common religion in Italy, where the vast majority of people identify as Catholics. Italian customs and culture have been affected by Catholicism. Which has shaped how Italians observe religious festivals and engage in rituals. Italy is known for its churches and cathedrals, il Duomo in Milan. Religious processions and celebrations are widespread across the nation.
Easter, also known as Pasqua, is a major Christian holiday in Italy that honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Italians attend church services and take part in processions to commemorate Easter with tremendous fervor and devotion. The “Explosion of the Cart,” known as the Scoppio del Carro in Florence, is one of the most well-known Easter customs in Italy. A cart full of fireworks is lit on this occasion to represent a prosperous and bountiful year. In Italy, Easter Monday, or Pasquetta, is a public holiday as well. Families and friends frequently get together for outdoor activities and picnics on this day.
