No one likes a party more than the Italians, except maybe the Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Just because the Irish own St. Patty's Day doesn't mean the Italians can't make their mark. And who's going to stop them from celebrating anyway? The more, the merrier, right? So, embrace your inner leprechaun, known to the Italians as gnomo, and start celebrating. Here are some suggestions on how to Italian-ify St. Patrick's Day.
<P>
<FONT SIZE="+1"><B><A HREF="/articles/ourpaesani/stpatrick.htm">St. Patrick Is a Paesano</A></B><BR></FONT>
March 17 is the feast day of St. Patrick, known to Italians as San Patrizio. Although Patrizio's celebration is overshadowed - in Italy at least - by that of San Giuseppe (St. Joseph) on March 19, Patrizio has his own ties to Italy. His parents were Romans.
