Mother’s Day ~ Making Memories

Mother's Day in Italy was celebrated for the first time on May 12, 1957, in the city of Assisi,
thanks to the initiative of Rev. Otello Migliosi, parish priest of the Tordibetto church. This
celebration was so successful that the following year it was adopted throughout Italy, where
since then it is usually celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Monks were the first to keep kitchen

gardens in Medieval Italy
