Answer 2

Some observable customs are:

- Eating foccacia in the morning with warm milk or cappuccio.

- Greet "salve" in the day time (straight faced) and "buonasera" in the afternoon (with a hint of smile. especially when they're about to finish the day's work).

- The Ligurians who work in a shop or shop-office get 3 to 4 hours of lunch break, during which they cook, eat and have short nap, or if the weather is nice, they sunbathe at the beach and have a light snack.

- They go to bar for a quick caffeine fix and to an "American bar" for alcoholic drinks.

- For Easter, the must-have dish is torta pasqualina.

- Usually on the first summer weekend, there will be a local festival with open-air concerts and contests.

- On summer weekends everyone will descend on the beach.

- They will try to make at least one weekend trip to the mountains in summer.

- They love their basilico genovese and sometimes add potato in their pasta al pesto.
