Confettata, an ancient but always modern tradition

Confettata: origins, current trends and tips for making it perfectly

Every special occasion needs, to be considered such, a series of essential details. One of the most classic and expected by the guests is, without a doubt, the confettata

The origins

The confettata is an ancient tradition and in times gone by it was a gift that the bride and groom received from the wedding guests: the baskets that the guests brought to the guests were filled with almonds, walnuts, pistachios, various sweets

Over time the tradition has reversed: the confetti became the homage with which the spouses thanked their guests.

With the discovery of the Indies and the consequent discovery of sugar, the confectioners started coating the sugar almonds but did not stop there. In fact, they began to cover sugar of all kinds of dried fruit and all the known aromas helped to compose all the variety of confetti that we know today.
