The Italian word for Easter is "Pasqua" and it is a big holiday in Venice. The local stores sell wonderful, delicious chocolate eggs in fancy wrappers. They are hollow and have a special prize inside. Would you like one?
Many families gather at home for a tradiational Italian dinner of artichokes. roasted lamb, and a special sweet bread called "Colomba" which means dove and is shaped like a dove. Others dine out with family and friends at local restaurants like Trattoria da Georgio where I'm meeting my friends Lucia and Stephan for lunch. Arrivederci!
It looks like Blogspot ate my comment from yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSuper sketch! I want that chocolate egg. :-)
