For Easter average expenditure of 82 euro per family

Easter lunch at home for eight out of ten Italians (80%), including those who will spend it in their own homes and those in those of relatives and friends, with an average of six people at the table and an expenditure of 82 euros per family, an increase of 9% compared to last year. This is what emerges from the Coldiretti/Ixè survey "La Pasqua 2025 degli italiani a tavola", according to which there will also be 11% who will choose a restaurant or agriturismo to spend the festivity, while 4% are planning an outdoor picnic. Easter lunch will take an average of 1.9 hours to prepare. At the table, traditional menus win with eggs as the great protagonists. Untraceable and very expensive in Trump's United States, during Easter week, Italians will consume around three hundred million of them, hard-boiled or in the typical recipes of the various regions.

Traditional menus win at the table, with eggs the great protagonists. Unobtainable and very expensive in Trump's United States, during Easter week - Coldiretti notes - Italians will consume about three hundred million of them, hard-boiled or in the typical recipes of the various regions. In Central Italy, we find the cheese pizza from the Marche and Umbria, soft and enriched with cheese and eggs, and the fiadone from Abruzzo, a savoury rustic pizza with cheese and eggs. In the South, in Campania, the casatiello stands out, a bread stuffed with cold cuts and hard-boiled eggs embedded in the dough, while in Puglia and Calabria sweets such as scarcelle and cudduraci, decorated with whole eggs, are prepared. In the North - Coldiretti continues -, Liguria offers the famous torta pasqualina, a savoury pie with vegetables, ricotta and whole eggs in the filling. Finally, in the Islands we find Sardinian pardulas, sweets made with ricotta and eggs, and Sicilian cuddura cu l'ova, biscuits decorated with hard-boiled eggs, a symbol of good luck and rebirth.

But lamb will also not be missing from Easter tables, so much so that it will be served in almost half of the homes (44%), with a clear preference for Made in Italy lamb, perhaps purchased directly from the producer," concludes Coldiretti, "on the farm or in the Campagna Amica farmers' markets open across the boot.
