As we know, eating well with friends is a very important part of Italian life. Especially on New Year’s Eve, which is celebrated with the big New Year’s Eve menu, the Cenone. This consists of many courses, each of which is served with the appropriate type of wine. Traditionally there is fish and seafood, but in the mountainous regions, it is more meat dishes.
Many restaurants offer the Cenone. Then dance music plays and in between, you try your luck at the lottery.
At midnight, as everywhere else, they toast with spumante and welcome the new year with rockets, as far as the environment allows.
Lentils with cotechino is a typical Italian dish. In order for the new year to bring luck and enough money, lentils with cotechino are eaten right at the beginning of the year. The tradition has been around since the Roman Empire. Lentils in a leather pouch were given to each other with the wish that they would turn into gold coins. However, this tradition is no longer widespread today, and the desire for a windfall has remained.
Other foods such as pomegranates and grapes are also important as a wish for happiness and wealth.
Cotechino is a boiled pork sausage that is cooked for about 2 hours when you get it fresh from the butcher. You can also get pre-cooked cotechino in the supermarket.
Alternatively, you can eat the lentils with zampone, a stuffed pig’s foot.
On New Year’s Eve, men and women traditionally wear all kinds of red underwear. In this way, you can ensure happiness in love for the whole of the coming year.
You may have wondered why the shop windows are filled with red lingerie after Christmas.
Pope Silvestro I died in Rome on December 31, 335. The Christian festival of San Silvestro was already celebrated in his honor in ancient Rome. Today it is called Capodanno in Italy and is a happy but little Christian celebration.
We wish each other BUON ANNO and Felice Anno Nuovo!
