    April Fool's Day in Italy, or the Pesce d'Aprile
    posted Thursday, April 1, 2010 |
    April Fool's Day in Italy - ("Pesce d'Aprile") .A day in which people do dirty deeds against one another in the name of humor and good fun. The favorite one here is to tape a paper cutout of a fish to the back of an unsuspecting friend and then the group laughs (silently) as they walk around like an idiot.

    Then everyone jokingly questions: "L'hai visto?" "Chi?" "Il pesce d'Aprile!" (or "Have you seen?" "Who?" "the April Fool!") Literally, "Pesce d'Aprile" in Italian is the April Fish.
