ITALIAN CELEBRATIONS

Carnevale

Italians prepare for Lent (the 40 days of abstinence before Easter) by indulging in lots of sweet treats and throwing a lively party. The most popular Italian destination for Carnival is undoubtedly Venice for the lavish costumes and masks worn even a week before the celebration. Dates vary each year, depending on what date Easter falls on.

FUN FACT

Fourteen billion espressos are consumed in Italy each year.

Around €3,000 of change is thrown in the Trevi Fountain by tourists daily. It is then collected and donated to charity (that’s $1,715,000 Australian per year)
