All Saints' Day is celebrated on November 1. Writings dated to 609AD are among the earliest to mention All Saints' Day. On All Saints' Day (November 1st) and All Souls' Day (November 2nd) in Italy, traditional seasonal dishes are enjoyed, particularly special desserts such as Ossa dei Morti, Fave dei Morti, Castagnaccio, and Pan dei Morti, along with almond-based sweets like Frutta di Martorana. Hot soups made with legumes (such as chickpeas), chestnuts, pumpkin, and salted meats (Carne Salada) are also common. These foods symbolize a connection to the earth and the memory of the deceased, utilizing autumn ingredients and often served with sweet wine like Vinsanto.
