To celebrate this lovers’ holiday Italians give
each other flowers, plan romantic dinners and
present each other with chocolates, much like in
the United States. The renowned Italian
chocolate maker, Perugina celebrates this day by
making a special edition of the Baci chocolate
candies with a shiny red wrapper and a sweet red
cherry and liquid center rather than the
traditional hazelnut one. These chocolates are
always a favorite and inside the foil wrapper
there is a “love note” with a romantic phrase.
