Halloween is not celebrated in Italy as it is in the United States. The holiday is marked in the country and around Europe as Tutti I Santi, or All Saints Day, a Christian celebration that honors those who entered heaven as saints. However, the idea of Halloween is popular in the country, with supermarkets selling pumpkins and spooky decorations and bars and nightclubs hosting Halloween nights to mimic the ambiance found in the United States. Some markets and museums will also hold events for children to allow them to partake in dolcetto o scherzetto (trick or treating.)
