Uova di Pasqua - Easter surprise in Italy

In Italy, Easter is celebrated like in Switzerland as an important festival in Christianity. In Apulia, different processions are organised in the small villages and cities. Whether the Mystery Procession in Bari or the Perdoni Procession in Taranto: every village has its own tradition.

However, what they all have in common is the custom of Easter eggs: they don’t go hunting for Easter eggs outdoors and there is no Easter bunny. Instead, they make each other happy with particularly large chocolate eggs (Uova di Pasqua), which are filled with additional sweet surprises.

From 5 April, Helvetic Airways will operate a flight to Brindisi every Thursday and Sunday.
