Four million people travelling, for 32 million transits on the road and motorway network, between today and tomorrow, in view of the Easter holidays. This was communicated by Anas, which has decided to remove 404 construction sites (63% of the total).
In particular, traffic growth is expected to be around 15% higher today, and around 5% higher tomorrow, compared to the weekly average. As in previous years, Tuscany, Puglia, Campania and Sicily are confirmed as the destinations preferred by tourists.
For Coldiretti, “real” eggs are the stars of Easter week, so much so that over three hundred million of them will be served from North to South, hard-boiled or as ingredients in desserts or traditional dishes. Italians will spend around 130 million euros on eggs thanks to production almost entirely Made in Italy.
At breakfast and at the end of the meal the challenge among Easter desserts is won this year by the dove, which will be present on 69% of the tables, according to the Coldiretti/Ixe’ survey, compared to 63% of the chocolate egg that this year ago recorded record price increases due to the increase in chocolate prices.
There will also be no shortage of lamb on Easter tables, present in one menu out of three (33%), according to Coldiretti/Ixe’. Among those who bring lamb to the table, over one in four, Coldiretti notes, will purchase it directly from the producer.
“Choosing lamb also means supporting – recalls Coldiretti – the survival of the 60 thousand shepherds, currently struggling with the damage of the drought in Southern Italy and the increase in production costs linked to international tensions”.
