Cultural Note
In Italy, a birth is celebrated by the entire extended family. It's customary to hang a ribbon on the front door — blue for a boy, pink for a girl — to announce the 'lieto evento' (happy event). Visiting the newborn and bringing gifts is an important social obligation for relatives and close friends.
