The Passeggiata is a time honored tradition that takes place every night in towns across Italy. Shortly after 6pm, everyone strolls before dinner through the town center, usually the main piazza. All the streets are closed to cars, reserved solely for the stroll. Couples, friends, and families link arms and enjoy the lovely evening routine.
Ian and I have participated in the passeggiata a few times and it is such a great way to really experience the Italian culture and feel like a part of the city. Even on cool winter nights, families and friends are out strolling. I love it!
