ISTITUTO EUROPEO Study Abroad: Halloween in Firenze

Old Stove Signoria decorated for Halloween

By Paige Gherardi

While Halloween isn’t a traditonal Italian holiday, its popularity is growing in Florence. From costume parties to themed dinners, the historic center will host many different Halloween events tonight. Most pubs and discos are already adorned with pumpkins, spider webs, and even human limbs to kick off their Halloween parties. The Old Stove Signoria will have a live band and costume party. The Odeon is showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show with audience participation. YAB, Central Park and Otel are having Halloween parties. Just about every angle in Florence will have something themed around Halloween or All Saints Day. If you’re thinking about celebrating, it’s not too late to find a costume either. The Dreoni toy store on Via Cavour has lots of options, and most 99 cent stores are stocked with wigs, accessories, and masks.
