Italian culture

Italian culture

Italy is considered the birthplace of Western civilization and a cultural

superpower. Italy was home to many well-known and influential

civilizations, including the Etruscans, Samnites and the Romans, while

also hosting colonies from important foreign civilizations like

the Phoenicians and Greeks, whose influence and culture had a large

impact through the peninsula. The Greek ruins in southern Italy are

perhaps the most spectacular and best preserved anywhere.          

The famous elements of Italian culture are its art, music, style, and

iconic food.                                                                                                    The country boasts several world-famous cities. Rome was the ancient

capital of the Roman Empire and seat of the Pope of the Catholic

Church. Florence was the heart of the Renaissance, a period of great

achievements in the arts at the end of the Middle Ages. Other

important cities include Turin, which used to be the capital of Italy, and

 is now one of the world's great centers of automobile

engineering. Milan is the industrial, financial and fashion capital of

 Italy. Venice, with its intricate canal system, attracts tourists from all

 over the world especially during the Venetian Carnival and

the Biennale.

Natale in Italia - Christmas in Italy

Informazioni

Il termine "Natale" deriva dal latino natalis.

Formule d'augurio in italiano sono "Buon Natale" e "Felice Natale".

Dall'Italia proviene la tradizione del presepe.

Quello che è considerato il primo presepe della storia (un presepe vivente) fu allestito da San Francesco d'Assisi a Greccio nel 1223. Tuttavia, scene delle natività si riscontravano già a Napoli nel 1025.

La tradizione dell'albero di Natale, di origine nordica, è stata adottata ampiamente anche in Italia. Nel 1991, l'albero di Natale di Gubbio, alto 650 metri e decorato con oltre 700 luci, entrò nel Guinness dei primati come l'albero di Natale più alto del mondo.

Tradizione tipicamente italiana è invece quella degli zampognari, ovvero uomini vestiti da pastori e muniti di zampogna, che scendono dalle montagne, suonando musiche natalizie. Questa tradizione, risalente al XIX secolo, è particolarmente diffusa nel Sud del Paese^.

Una figura tipica del folclore natalizio italiano è la Befana, raffigurata come una vecchia strega su una scopa, che compare come portatrice di doni il 6 gennaio, giorno dell'Epifania: secondo la tradizione, questa figura porta regali (di solito dolci all'interno di una calza) ai bambini buoni e carbone ai bambini cattivi.

Alla figura della Befana è dedicata una celebre filastrocca:

La Befana vien di Notte
con le scarpe tutte rotte
il cappello alla romana
viva viva la Befana

Tipico dolce natalizio italiano è il panettone, un dolce con uvetta e canditi originario di Milano, ma diffuso in tutto il territorio. Le origini di questo dolce risalgono forse già al XII secolo.

Info

The word “Natale” comes from the latin word “natalis”.

The popular sentences for this event are : Merry Christams or Happy Christmas.

The crib tradition comes from Italy. The first crib - with live people- in our country was prepared by Saint Francesco d’Assisi in Greccio in 1223. But some scenes of cribs were in Naples in 1025.

About the Christmas tree , a custom from the north Europe, we had the first one in Italy in 1991 in Gubbio. It was 650 metres high with 700 lights. It was in  the World Guiness as the highest Christmas tree.

An Italian character is the bagpiper  a man dressed like a shepherd with a bag pipe that comes from the mountain playing Christmas carols. This custom goes back to XIX century and is typical in the south of Italy.

Another character is the “Ephifany” .  She is like an old witch with a broom that takes presents to kids on 6 January , the day of “Epifany”. She  takes a stocking with sweets to good kids but only coal to bad kids.

It is a popular rhyme:

Epifany comes at night

She has old shoes

A Roman hat

Hurray Epifany

The typical Christmas dessert is “panettone”, a sweet with  raisin from Milano but popular everywhere in Italy.  This dessert dates back to XXII century.

Easter in Italy

         EASTER IN ITALY

La Pasqua in Italia

Pasqua è la principale solennità del cristianesimo. Essa

celebra la risurrezione di Gesù avvenuta, secondo le

confessioni cristiane, nel terzo giorno dalla

sua morte in croce, come narrato nei Vangeli.

La data della Pasqua, variabile di anno in anno

secondo i cicli lunari, cade la domenica successiva al

primo plenilunio di primavera, determinando anche la

cadenza di altre celebrazioni e tempi liturgici, come

 la Quaresima e la Pentecoste.

La Pasqua cristiana presenta importanti legami ma

anche significative differenze con la Pasqua ebraica.

And now in English!

Easter Day in Italy is a national holiday that

commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death, as

written in the Christian bible. The Easter date is set around

the time of the March Equinox.
