Easter Monday or ‘La Pasquetta’ – literally little Easter – is one of the favourite Italian holidays. It’s an official national holiday in Italy.Banks and shops are closed.On Easter Monday, some cities hold dances, free concerts, or unusual games often involving eggs. Ruzzolone is played by rolling huge wheels of cheese, weighing about 4 kilos, around the village walls. The object is to get your cheese around the course using the fewest number of strokes. Following the cheese contest, there is a band in the piazza and of course, wine. Easter Monday is a time to gather with friends and have fun.
