There are quite some special occasions coming up in the next few weeks, in Italy and around the world:
Carnevale festivities and celebration will be starting soon everywhere, with 2 weeks of parties and street revelings, culminating with Martedì Grasso or Mardi Gras, which this year occurs on 12 February.
Viareggio and Venice are the Italian cities where Carnevale takes place with the most colorful and fun celebrations, with floats parades, festivals, costume parties and super exclusive balls.
Then, San Valentino or Valentine's day will come right after, on 14 February, and although it will be just the day after Ash Wednesday, at the beginning of Lent, everyone will take some time and find their special way to celebrate their significant other.
So, stay tuned, as I am preparing new articles for you with specific recipes and notes for these two occasions.
