Italy
Everyone knows that on New Year’s Eve it is customary for Italians to throw out everything unnecessary from windows and balconies, including pieces of furniture. In reality, this is a myth to attract tourists. And here’s what their celebrations really stand out for:
costumes: on New Year’s Eve, all the inhabitants of the country are dressed in clothes of the colors of the Santa costume. Every Italian has something red – be it socks, underwear or the whole image;
by eating raisins: Italians have an unusual tradition of eating as much dried grapes as possible directly from the bunches. They believe that this ritual will bring them wealth in the coming year, because raisins are associated with coins.
