Throughout Italy, early evenings are as lively a time as any. Clinking glasses, chatter and small plates of delicious food signal aperitivo hour. Aperitivo typically occurs prior to dinner as a time to catch up with friends or as a much-needed shopping break. Either way, the most important component of Italy’s version of happy hour is quality time spent together.
Bars and patios are crowded with Italians of all ages, as aperitivo is the place to be and be seen. The Italian staple, however, has experienced a profound shift this year in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the changes and obstacles, Italians have found creative and innovative ways of toasting and connecting with one another.
