With the Vernal Equinox occurring on March 20, 2016, the anticipation of the spring season is eagerly awaited in Italy, as it is in most countries who have suffered through the recent chilly months of winter. As in many locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather in Italy can be cold, wet, and completely unpredictable during the month of March. Let’s face it, even in Florida, the month of March exhibits extremely variable weather which frequently thwarts plans for outside activities. You never have to worry about erratic weather affecting your Orlando fine dining experience when you visit Christini’s Ristorante Italiano.
There are many festivals and reasons to celebrate throughout Italy in the month of March. Women’s Day (Festa della Donna) is the day set aside to honor the women in your life by bestowing bouquets of yellow mimosa flowers. It is celebrated each year on March 8th. March is also host to the feast of St. Joseph, (Festa di San Giuseppe) on the 19th. This feast doubles as Father’s Day in Italy.
Historically, March is considered an off season for travelers in Italy, so airfare and hotel rates may be considerably more affordable. Even though it’s not the most popular time of the year to visit Italy, there are plenty of new and exciting experiences to enjoy throughout the country. Spring festivals, such as the Festa della Primavera, are usually held on the 21st of March in many parts of the country. Featuring art, music, and regional cuisine, there is no reason to overlook the opportunity to travel if it arises. If the weather forces you inside, you are typically just minutes away from locations which are replete with magnificent architecture to study and history to absorb. It’s also easier to partake of discounts on sightseeing tours and visits to museums, making your itinerary more affordable.
If traveling to Italy is not in the cards for you this March, don’t worry! You can still experience the exquisite ambiance and authentic cuisine at an Orlando fine dining legend. Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is sure to sweep away the winter doldrums and pamper you with the warmth and charm of a highly-trained staff and quintessential Italian fare.
