November in Italy

For some years now we have known what Halloween means in the USA.
Some people celebrate Halloween in Italy as you do in the USA, but in our tradition November 2 is All Souls' Day: people remember the dead persons of one's family by going to the cemeteries and putting bunches of flowers on family tombs.
But we are breaking this old tradition, that I like very much, because many people are living in big cities, a long way off from the old villages of their parents and ancestors.

Da qualche anno la festa di Halloween ha cominciato a diffondersi in Italia, bench� sia estranea alla tradizione, che prevede la commemorazione dei defunti con la visita alle tombe di famiglia.
