🇮🇹 L'Aperitivo: Un Rito Italiano
The aperitivo is a traditional Italian pre-dinner ritual that typically takes place between 6 and 9 p.m. People gather at a bar or café to enjoy a drink—such as a spritz, negroni, or wine—together with small snacks called cicchetti. This custom not only marks the transition from work to leisure but also fosters social interaction.

💡 Examples:

- "Ti va un spritz?" – "Would you like a spritz?"
- "Qual è il tuo aperitivo preferito?" – "What's your favorite aperitivo?"
- "I cicchetti sono deliziosi!" – "The cicchetti are delicious!"
