Sunday lunch
Pronunciation
/ˈpran.dzo ˈdel.la do.ˈme.ni.ka/
Cultural Note
The 'pranzo della domenica' is perhaps the most important weekly family ritual in Italy. Multiple generations gather at the family home (usually the grandparents') for a lengthy meal that can last three to four hours. Missing it without a very good reason is considered a serious breach of family loyalty.
