- When dining, meals are typically an extended social experience. While minor cultural missteps are accepted, respecting local customs is essential. Key considerations include: limiting cappuccino orders to breakfast times, avoiding criticism of food, and greeting waitstaff upon arrival (e.g., *buongiorno*). Visitors should understand that staff are unlikely to deviate from standard service protocols.
About this holiday
St. Januarius commemorates Januarius I of Benevento, a martyr and saint of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Benevento. Legends suggest his death occurred during the Great Persecution, which concluded with Diocletian’s retirement in 305 AD.
