Italy
participants
The goal of the Italian aperitivo as a one of the first event during the welcome days was to let new erasmus and esners connect from the very beginning during a chill and easy afternoon talking a tasting italian food and drinks in a local Rimini bar.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do” is one of those maxims that tends to come in handy wherever you go, but it’s especially informative in Italy where local festivals, seasonal eating, and a more relaxed pace of life are important parts of the culture. You can certainly visit without adopting any local habits and customs during your stay, but we don’t recommend it. Perhaps our favorite Italian tradition is the aperitivo, a drink/light meal that takes place at the end of the workday as a kind of warm up to dinner. ESN volunteers must introduce the new erasmus people arriving to the most famous italian tradition so we did.
