意大利开胃酒时光：傍晚社交与慢生活的艺术
In many Italian cities, the day does not end at five o’clock — it transforms. Around sunset, locals pour into small bars and outdoor piazzas for what they call aperitivo, a pre-dinner ritual that is part snack, part drink, and entirely social. Unlike a hurried happy hour elsewhere, this tradition slows the evening down.
The star of the evening is a light, bitter drink such as Aperol Spritz or Campari. These are designed to stimulate the appetite, not to intoxicate. For a fixed price of about eight to twelve euros, you get a glass and access to a buffet of small savoury bites — olives, cheese, bruschetta, and tiny pasta salads. The spread is generous, and the conversation flows freely.
