Halloween is becoming more popular in Italy every year - between witches' villages, devil's bridges and ancient rituals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a pure horror show, there is a mix of party, legend and remembrance that is surprisingly Italian. Halloween in Italy is not an imported carnival, but a growing cultural mix - of party, remembrance and regional pride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two worlds collide in Italy: the Irish-American Halloween on 31 October and the Catholic holiday Ognissanti<\/em> (All Saints' Day) on 1 November. Many families visit the graves of their deceased during these days, bringing flowers and candles. At the same time, in some places (especially) young Italians dance through the streets in witch costumes. Between cemetery ritual and festive mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five things that Italians do differently when eating out<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witches' villages, bridges and masks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some places in Italy have made Halloween their trademark. In Triora in Liguria - known as the \u201ecity of witches\u201c - there is a two-day programme around 31 October - nightly guided tours, fire performances and symbolic rituals take place. A hysterical and cruel persecution of witches took place in the village at the end of the 16th century. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
