Growing up in California I was able to see the changing seasons, the leaves changing colors and flowers blooming. Prior to coming here to Italy I was in Arizona for 10 years where there are really only 2 seasons, cool and hellfire hot. So I haven't been able to witness the beauty of changing seasons for a long time. Italy definitely has the beauty. All the blooming trees and vibrant colors made driving through town past all the trash piles much more bearable!
Pasqua (Easter) is big here. Tons of chocolate goodies and different types of pastries are made especially for the holiday. American chocolate eggs have nothing on the Italian version. They go big! These eggs range in price from about $20-$50 and most are filled with some kind of surprise on the inside. Puts our little Cadbury's to shame huh?
And what would Easter be without little baby chicks?? Well I guess Italians are more into chickens than the cute little fuzzy chicks we are all used to. Giant chocolate chicken anyone?
