The inquiry centers on the prevalence of Halloween traditions within Italy. This investigation seeks to understand if and how the celebration of October 31st, known for costumes, trick-or-treating, and themed decorations, is observed in Italian culture.
Historically, Italy possessed its own autumn traditions linked to honoring the deceased, predating widespread adoption of practices originating from North America. While these ancestral customs remain relevant, the influence of globalization and media has led to an increased, albeit localized, presence of more modern Halloween celebrations. This has resulted in a blend of ancient customs and contemporary festivities, particularly among younger generations.
