Doing this at midnight on New Year&#8217;s Eve symbolises smashing negativity from the past and is also said to drive out evil spirits, which (according to local legend) are frightened of loud noises. This is also believed to be the reason behind having fireworks at New Year, which is a feature of most cities&#8217; celebrations, and one tradition that has become popular across the globe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"New Year in Italy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewYearVenice_iStock_SergeyZavalnyuk_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[symple_callout fade_in=&#8221;true&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Explore Europe Trips&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/autumn-winter-spring-2018-19&#8243; button_color=&#8221;red&#8221; button_size=&#8221;large&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;30px&#8221; button_target=&#8221;self&#8221; button_rel=&#8221;&#8221; button_icon_left=&#8221;&#8221; button_icon_right=&#8221;&#8221;] Discover other European destinations through the seasons. [\/symple_callout]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Celebratory Fare<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In Italy, specific local foods are eaten to mark the occasion of a new year. Eating lentils at midnight is said to bring good luck in the coming year as the humble legume symbolises longevity, wealth and prosperity due to its round, flat and golden appearance (which has long been said to resemble gold coins). Lentils are commonly eaten with sausage meat or pig&#8217;s trotters, which in turn symbolise abundance and good fortune.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"New Year in Italy\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ItalyNewYear_iStock_trendobjects_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, these aren&#8217;t the only foods that are traditionally eaten at New Year in Italy. If you see people eating grapes at midnight, it&#8217;s because this fruit is said to encourage frugality with any future wealth acquired in the coming year. This is because saving the harvest&#8217;s grapes to eat at New Year clearly shows they must have great willpower.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where to Go<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In each of Italy&#8217;s most magnificent cities, the local community celebrates amidst the majestic architecture and cobblestones of the main piazza.
