Festa della Donna

mimosa.gif Tomorrow, March 8, is Women's Day. I have read that this is an international holiday - but before moving to Italy I was never aware of it. First celebrated internationally in 1911, it is based on a number of previous women's rights demonstrations in the USA. Here in Italy, men give mimosa flowers to their female family members and friends.
