getting rid of old things.
in the south Italy has long had a tradition of throwing old clothes and
small pieces of furniture out of windows - this symbolized the cleansing of
the house before the new year. today, the tradition has become more
civilized, but the idea remains: before the holiday, Italians get rid of
unnecessary things in order to let renovation into the house.

as for me, the traditions in the southern part of Italy are the most
interesting and amazing. but of course we all have our own personal
opinions.

similar to our Russians.
