Italian rituals you need to adopt. The Passegiatta, Gelato, Aperitivo, Calabria, Italy. Copyright © 2023 Terence Carter / Grantourismo. All Rights Reserved.

Italian Rituals You Need to Adopt – From the Passeggiata to Aperitivo Hour

There are a few Italian rituals you need to adopt if you’re in Italy this summer or any time of year for that matter, from joining the early evening passeggiata and partaking in aperitivo hour to buying a gelato at the end of the night to enjoy on the amble home.

Some of the things I miss most about Europe are the customs and cultural traditions such as the Italian rituals you need to adopt if you’re heading to Italy this summer, or any time of year for that matter, from joining the locals on their evening passeggiata and partaking in aperitivo hour to buying a gelato at the end of the night to lick on the walk home.

The daily passeggiata, aperitivo hour and lining up for a gelato are three beloved Italian pastimes that we relished experiencing on our trips to Italy over the years and we recommend you do the same. These are two of the Italian rituals you need to adopt this summer if you want a taste of how Italy’s locals live their lives.

Italian Rituals You Need to Adopt – From the Passeggiata to Aperitivo Hour

The Passeggiata

The passeggiata or promenade is probably the Italian ritual that I adore the most that I’d love to see exported around the world. You’ll see the passeggiata – a collective late afternoon to early evening community stroll – all over Italy, but I think they do it best in Calabria.

Years ago we wrote the first English language guidebook to Calabria and during the course of our research we circumnavigated and criss-crossed the southern peninsula. We were there in late summer and early autumn so we got to experience two seasons of the passeggiata.

Every person in every town and city in Calabria seems to religiously participate in the passeggiata in the early evening during summer and in the late afternoon during the cooler months. In summer, the locals are showing off their tans in their freshly pressed linens and cottons, preferably white. In winter, they’re dressed in smart coats and boots.

The daily passeggiata typically takes place along a town’s seaside promenade, main pedestrianised street or shopping thoroughfare. It’s a chance to see and be seen, for young people to flirt, as much as it is a time to catch up with friends, family and neighbours.

Locals might stop to line up for gelato or sit down and enjoy an aperitivo at the end of their stroll, although they’re rituals in themselves.

If someone asked me what smell came to mind when I thought of Calabria, I have to say that I’d be torn between the salty sea odours of just-caught swordfish, the spicy aromas of ’nduja or peperoncino, the perfume of Calabria’s finest liquorice, and… shampoo and soap.

Because when you join the locals on their evening passeggiata, it’s clear the whole city has just showered and washed and styled their hair before changing into their best clothes, as the most distinctive smell as you stroll with the masses down a town’s main pedestrian street is shampoo – and soap, hairspray, perfume, and after-shave.

If you only participate in one, make it the passiagiatta in Vibo Valentia, pictured above, on a Sunday evening in late summer or autumn when the whole town comes out to mingle with friends.

Ravenna in the north also has a wonderful passagietta, with well-dressed locals taking their dogs out for the evening saunter along the town’s cobblestone streets.

Aperitivo Hour

One of the most quintessential Italian rituals you need to adopt on a trip to Italy is participating in aperitivo hour.

An evening aperitivo is another beloved Italian experience which involves heading out to meet friends or colleagues for a late afternoon or early evening drink, at happy hour prices, as you graze on complimentary snacks.

Sometimes the aperitivo snacks are little more than hors d’oeuvres or tapas served with each drink. At other times there’s a generous buffet that customers can help themselves too, which becomes dinner for many.

There’s no better place to enjoy aperitivo with the locals than at one of the many casual bars that line the canals of the Navigli, one of Milan’s most laidback neighbourhoods. 

Some of our fondest memories of Italy are the months we spent in Milan researching and writing a guidebook to the city. We rented a light-filled apartment that overlooked the Naviglio Grande, the main canal, and the streets either side of it.

Quiet during the day, in the late afternoon, early evening, and on weekends when there’s a market, the Naviglio Grande become one of Milan’s liveliest promenades.

We were lucky in that we had an excuse to head out to research and test out aperitivo hours each evening – we were including a guide to where to enjoy Milan’s best aperitivo hours in our book.

While we credit Southern Italy’s Calabrians for the best passeggiata, we reckon it’s the Northern Italians, particularly the Milanese, who do the best aperitivo. And it’s no wonder…

Because it was in Milan where Gaspare Campari created his eponymous bitters that were intended to stimulate the appetite. Naturally a negroni, along with the lighter and more refreshing Aperol spritz, is the drink of choice for aperitivo.

Spend some time in Milan or on the Italian Lakes that serve as the playground for the Milanese, and you quickly discover that aperitivo is a quintessential Italian experience.

There is a pattern to local life that unifies the diverse regions of Italy, from the ritual of the late afternoon cum early evening passagietta to sitting down to sip and snack and chat during aperitivo hour, and it’s all about enjoying life with family and friends.

While we wrote up our book in our Navigli apartment, our birds-eye-view onto the bustling street below, where the locals punctuated their passagietta with an aperitivo, motivated us to work fast so we could get down and join them. So take our advice: these are the Italian rituals you need to adopt when you get to Italy.

Have you been to Italy? Are there any Italian rituals that you love?

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ‘Angkor’. 

And please do let us know if you’re coming to Siem Reap. We’d love to see you here x

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
