Aperitivo Italiano

In the organizer's words:

Try an Italian Prosecco and an aperitivo cocktail of your choice as well as an Italian snack.

The Italian aperitivo is more than just a drink before a meal - it is a ritual, a moment of conviviality and pure joie de vivre. In Italy, the aperitivo is celebrated in the early evening hours, when friends and family meet in bars, cafés or on terraces to end the day in a relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect mix of enjoyment and anticipation of what is to come.

Typical aperitivo drinks such as the sparkling Aperol Spritz, the refreshing Negroni or a light Prosecco set the tone for the evening. They are bittersweet, light and invigorating - ideal for awakening the palate and stimulating the senses. The aperitivo is always accompanied by small snacks, known as stuzzichini or cicchetti. These delicious snacks can be olives, nuts, small bruschette with tomatoes and basil, Parma ham, cheese cubes or crispy focaccia slices. They are not only an appetizer, but also a tribute to the Italian tradition of combining pleasure with lightness.

The aperitivo is an integral part of Italian culture, where everything revolves around enjoyment, social interaction and relaxation. It symbolizes the "Dolce Vita" - the sweet life - where you can forget everyday life for a moment in pleasant company and a relaxed atmosphere. A glass in your hand, delicious snacks on the table and the sun slowly sinking into the horizon - this is what Italy tastes like!
