Nine out of 10 Italians will stay at home for Christmas lunch this year rather than eating out, a sign that the economic crisis is still having an impact on families in Italy, according to a survey by catering association FIPE in cooperation with Format Research.
The survey said just 11% of Italians planned to eat Christmas lunch in a restaurant or other public venue in Italy or abroad, making up about 5.6 million Italians, 512,000 less than in 2015.
