Saint Joseph's Day, or Feast Day of San Giuseppe, is celebrated all over Italy on March 19. Father's Day in Italy is a part of Saint Joseph's Day to commemorate Joseph, the father of Jesus.
In some places, Saint Joseph's Day is still celebrated with bonfires or pageants and there's even a donkey race in a Tuscan village - read about it in March Festivals in Italy. Zeppole, my favorite Italian pastry, is traditionally eaten on the Feast Day of San Giuseppe. You'll find zeppole in a pasticceria (definition of pasticceria) in Italy and in some Italian bakeries in the US or you can make your own with this recipe for Zeppole on our Italian Cuisine site.
