Our Non-Halloween – 8 Autumn Scenes from Italian Memories and Traditions

In Italy, autumn is a season of colors, scents, and ancient rituals.

A time that unites spirituality, the land, and family, intertwining gestures that have been repeated for generations. It is the time of harvest, of olives turning into new oil, of preserves made with summer vegetables, of traditional sweets given in memory of our loved ones who have passed away.

These are traditions passed down from mother to son, signs of a deep connection with our roots and those who came before us.

In the heart of many Italian homes, these days, a candle is lit in front of a photo, prayers are made, anecdotes of past lives are shared, and flavors that speak of affection, memory, and continuity are cooked.

Even though Halloween has become part of our daily routine—an imported celebration, cheerful and colorful—we must not forget our identity. We can welcome it, yes, but without losing our roots, those that bind us to family values, respect for the deceased, and the care of places of remembrance.

Visiting the cemetery, arranging flowers, remembering those who are no longer with us with tenderness and gratitude, gathering chestnuts in the woods, searching for mushrooms along damp paths, enjoying the scents of new oil and burning wood in the fireplace...

These are gestures that tell the story of our autumn, the authentic one, full of warmth and life.

This collection was born precisely from this: from the desire to share Italian autumn traditions, our non-Halloween.

A tribute to families, to memory, to the little things that keep our history alive—with an open mind to the new, but our heart always turned toward our roots.

🎨 You can color these prints or leave them in black and white.

You can use watercolors, pencils, or tempera: whatever technique you choose, they will transport you to distant memories, to sweet, familiar scents that reawaken dormant emotions.

It will be wonderful to color them together with those you love, sharing moments of quiet, nostalgia, and tenderness, rediscovering small fragments of past lives that continue to live within us.
