Easter Monday is a public holiday known as ‘Pasquetta’ Little Easter
We say ‘Pasqua di rinascita, Pasquetta di Festa’: Easter is for ribirth, Ester Monday for partying !
In Pasquetta we traditionally relax with friends having a picnic outdoor.
In the morning, the Italians pack a grill, simple food or leftover and head out on a trip to the lakes, beach, forest or to one of Rome’s parks.

Picnic menu can include ‘frittata’ omelet, made with sweet onions, pizza di Pasqua (sweet or savory Easter bread), and salumi.
The favorite roman destination for Pasquetta are the volcanic, wine growing Alban Hills, southeast of the capital, dotted with the picturesque towns of the Castelli Romani.
