The Italian Ambassador to Georgia Antonio Enrico Bartoli also confirmed the popularity of the holidays in his country, which shares several historical events with these celebrations. โ€œChristmas is a major holiday in Italy, just like we have here in Georgia. A very heartfelt moment. An opportunity for family reunions. We celebrate both on December 24 (Christmas eve, fish based dishes, midnight mass), and on 25: tortellini in broth, roasts, panettone and pandoro (typical Christmas cakes), torrone (delicious chocolate bar with nuts), many chats and board games, like tombola, the Italian bingo, or โ€œMerchant at the Fairโ€ (participants trade cards with the Merchant hoping to remain with the right ones that correspond to the prizes). In my family, we open Christmas presents in the morning of 25. In my city, Rome, you can hear Christmas come through the melodies played by the โ€œZampognariโ€ โ€“ shepherds who usually descended from the mountains with their traditional clothes and their โ€œzampogneโ€ (bagpipes). Traditionally on the 8th of December, the Day of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, decorations โ€“ Christmas lights, Christmas trees and Nativity scenes โ€“ are displayed inside

the houses and in cities, where you can find them in the main squares, avenues and streets. These decorations are removed after 6 January, the Epiphany day, when the โ€œBefanaโ€, a kind of good witch, fills the socks of kids with candies and small presents (coal shaped sweets if they have not behaved properly!) On December 31 it is natural to stop and look back at the year which is about to end. Some people, especially in the South, get rid of old objects as a good wish for the coming year. At the end of this 2018 we can proudly look at what has been done and what we can still do to strengthen Italy and Georgiaโ€™s friendship, with the certainty of having built solid ground to successfully continue in this direction.โ€
