All that is reliably known is that he was a 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;century Roman, martyred on February 14<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and buried in a cemetery on the Via Flaminia near the Milvian Bridge in north Rome. He died because he refused to stop marrying people, despite an edict from the Emperor, but wasn\u2019t strongly linked with the tradition of love and lovers until the middle ages. Since then Valentine\u2019s Day has been celebrated both by the church and by lovers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/danteinlinea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SAINT-VALENTINE-DANTE-IN-LINEA-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15860\" style=\"width:720px;height:405px\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Valentine_Celebrations_in_Italy\"><\/span>Valentine Celebrations in Italy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this lovers&#8217; holiday Italians give each other flowers, plan romantic dinners and present each other with chocolates, much like in the United States. The renowned Italian chocolate maker, Perugina celebrates this day by making a special edition of the Baci chocolate candies with a shiny red wrapper and a sweet red cherry and liquid center rather than the traditional hazelnut one. These chocolates are always a favorite and inside the foil wrapper there is a \u00ablove note\u00bb with a romantic phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Florence and Venice are traditionally considered to be two of the most romantic places in Italy but Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet celebrates Valentine&#8217;s Day with a four-day celebration of events designated \u00abVerona in Love.\u00bb In the center of Piazza dei Signori a giant red heart is painted on the street and illuminated heart-shaped lanterns are featured throughout the city center. Free concerts with romantic themes take place in Piazza dei Signori and there is a contest for the most beautiful letter written to Juliet.
