Less celebrated than Christmas but certainly more than Easter—especially considering the saying *“Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever you want”*—New Year’s Eve is the perfect occasion to bring the family together and spend the last day of the old year while welcoming the new one, exchanging warm wishes with loved ones.
In many families, it’s been a tradition for years to gather around the table and enjoy a hearty dinner featuring all those delicious dishes that are rarely eaten at other times of the year because of their richness (such as cotechino, zampone, stuffed panettone, nougat, hazelnuts, and more).
And it’s even better when dinner carries on until midnight, when everyone is ready to raise their glasses and toast the arrival of the New Year with a fine sparkling wine or a good champagne.
