 While in the States & Ireland the leprechaun hats and three-leaf-clover pins are being packed away, here in Italy the festivities are just getting started for San Giuseppe, or Saint Joseph's Day. 

March 19th is not only the feast day of St. Joseph the honored Saint, but also Father’s Day.  He is the patron of Sicily, Florence & Turin, and has a special kin with fathers, carpenters, fishermen, and even pastry chefs.

How do Italians celebrate-with ZeppoleZeppole, sweet bites filled with cream and made by mammas and pastry chefs in the Boot, are delicate golden fried or baked puffs.  Their smell is heavenly their taste-well you try!
