Italians have spent around 1.8 billion euros to set the Easter tables, which in over nine out of ten cases have chosen to spend at home, their own but also with relatives and friends.
This is the budget estimated by Coldiretti / Ixe 'from which a strong return of conviviality emerges after two years of Easter holidays between lockdown and red zones.
A trend demonstrated - underlines Coldiretti - by the lengthening of the tables with the presence on average of almost 6 diners, 2 more than last year.
Spending increases by 25% compared to last year and goes back to pre-pandemic levels, both due to the increase in the purchase of all the typical Easter products and the fact that this year - adds Coldiretti - there are 2.5 million of Italians who have decided to seize the
opportunity for lunch in a restaurant or in a farmhouse.

only a minority will make a trip to Europe, while very few will go further, between America, Asia and Oceania.
