Why Italians Have So Many Everyday Rituals | Local Aromas

Apparently, Italians have a lot of rules. 😂At least that's what people keep telling us.🙄 No cappuccino after a certain time🙄 Eat lunch at lunchtime🙄 Have something to eat when you drink🙄 Go for aperitivo🙄 Take a passeggiataAnd why do we ALWAYS go back to the same bar, market stall and neighborhood shops?The funny thing is ... we don't think of any of these as rules.So we started talking about them.And somewhere between Benedetta remembering her grandmother bringing her coffee in bed and Valeria talking about the people at her Sunday market who know all about her family, we realized these little Italian rituals have something much deeper in common.Connection. 💞💕 Your bartender remembers your order💕 Your vegetable vendor asks where you've been when you miss a week💕 Someone makes your coffee before you wake up💕 You sit around a table💕 You take a walk with a friend without even deciding where you're goingNone of these moments is particularly important on its own. Some last three minutes.But together, they create a feeling of belonging.And maybe that's one of the reasons so many people tell us they feel something different when they're in Italy.We started this episode talking about Italian rules. We ended it realizing that perhaps they're actually little acts of love. ❤️Local Aromas is all about Italy and 100% made in Italy 🇮🇹💗 Join our online community ⁠Local Aromas Family⁠🍝 Book our local Food & Wine Experiences in Italy➡️ www.localaromas.comFollow us on social media!✔️ ⁠Instagram⁠✔️ ⁠TikTok⁠✔️ ⁠Facebook⁠✔️ ⁠YouTube⁠
