Chinese New Year 2023

In 2023, the Chinese New Year begins on January 22 under the sign of the Rabbit, the fourth sign of the Chinese zodiac. It ends the year of the Tiger, a very self-confident animal. The Rabbit is considered proud and arrogant.
The festival is also called the Spring Festival and it lasts 15 days until the Lantern Festival . The Chinese New Year is a family festival in which families come together from far away and it is the reason for the largest travel movement in the world.
The festival at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II
Chinese New Year is celebrated in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. There will be a parade, information booths and performances.

The festival will be held on Sunday Feb. 5 from 12 noon.
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II was inaugurated in 1882, 11 years after Rome became Italy’s capital. The square is framed by imposing palaces with arcades in the style of the Piedmontese.
It is located south of Termini Central Station in the Esquilino district and many Chinese have settled here and there are many Chinese shops and stores selling goods from all over the world. Here is the Mercato Esquilino, the largest food market in Rome with the largest selection of exotic vegetables, fruits and spices.

There is also a door to visit in Piazza Vittorio. It is the last remnant of a 17th century mansion and is called the magic door or door of alchemy. The owner of the villa, Count Palombara, dealt with alchemy and moved in esoteric circles. The door bears signs of alchemy. Statues of the Egyptian god Bes are on the right and left.
Other Events
