How are Birthdays celebrated in Italy?

Question

I am doing a paper and can't find much research on this topic. I need to know some different ways Birthdays are traditionally celebrated in Italy.

Answer 1

i lived there for 4 years and its exactly the same as in the us

Answer 2

I'm italian...we celebrate birthdays the same way you do it. but there's one difference: you have a "sweet sixteen" , instead the most of us celebrate a big party when we are 18(we can't drive until we are 18, so we won't have a car for our 16th birthday!),it's a kind of "sweet 18"!
