What goes on in Spain and Portugal for Father’s Day pretty much takes place in Italy as well. With a few exceptions, Italy has its way of spicing things up. Father’s Day in Italy happens on St. Joseph’s Day which is March 19th.
The festivities range from street parades to bonfires with friends and family. They also have feasts of frittelle and zeppole. You might find donkey races in some towns. The donkey races symbolize Joseph leading Mary to Bethlehem.
