Easter in Stuttgart and Italy: customs, pastiera and Pasquetta

Easter is the festival of the Resurrection and also a spring festival. Germany and Italy celebrate it differently, with much in common: family, walks and a special meal.

Customs in Germany

The Easter bunny hides coloured eggs, families go for an Easter walk, and in many places an Easter fire is lit. The date changes every year: Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring.

Pasqua in Italy

At Easter Italians bake the colomba, a yeast cake in the shape of a dove. In Naples the pastiera belongs on the table, a tart of wheat, ricotta and orange-blossom water. On Easter Monday people celebrate Pasquetta with outings and picnics.

Time to eat together

The Easter holidays are for many a chance to go out for a meal with family and friends. If you want a table over the holidays, ask in good time.
