Italian Traditions

Italians are a proud people with a very old and rich cultural heritage. They have an extremely strong sense of family and it shows in many of their traditions. Most Italians are Roman Catholic and have a very strong sense of religion as well. Family, music, food, church, and holidays are very important traditions that many Italians hold very dear.

Family is one of the most important things in an Italians life. Exchanging gifts is also very important between family members during holidays. Italian gifts could be anything from a homemade jar of sauce, to a printed I garment showcasing their Italian pride. Italian families are very close and are actively involved with each family member's life. Even cousins are treated almost like brothers or sisters. Italians love visiting friends and family and like to bring gifts of food and wine for dinner.

Food plays an integral role in the traditions of the Italian family. Dinner is a place where the entire family can get together and talk about their day. This tradition is dying in the US but among the Italian families, it's still very strong. Italian food is almost a tradition by itself. With exquisite dishes like chicken parmagiana, Italian food is very popular all over the world. Holidays and religion go hand in hand in Italian tradition. Most holidays are celebrated with a few hours in church followed by a large family party. Christmas and Easter are the two biggest holidays for Italians because they are deeply religious.
