With the most wonderful time of the year at the door, it is high time to plan a visit to the Christmas markets in Italy. The authenticity of handmade gifts and a variety of delicious local treats will undoubtedly warm the visitors’ hearts and make up for wonderful winter memories. Use this true luxury opportunity by having the Italian Christmas market getaway!
Shop for the Italian gourmet Christmas Eve dinner
The best proof of the Italian grandeur and soft power lies on the shelves of the local delicacies’ vendors. While charming snowy towns of Trento and Bolzano offer the unique recipes of knödel, regional apple juice and local wines, the Christmas market in Naples can take pride in selling the world-famous limoncello and pastries like struffoli (fried dough with honey). If you pass through the region of Lombardy, be sure to bring an exquisite gift of panettone to have as a Christmas dessert. Moreover, the Christmas market by the Duomo of Milan collects gourmet food from all the regions in one square - truffles from Piedmont and Umbria, high-end caviar from Italian farms, aged Parmesan and many fine chocolate delicacies, ensuring the abundance and excellence at your Christmas table.
