In Italy, the term "aperitivo" refers not only to the aperitif itself, but also to the habit of meeting friends in the evenings in the cities for a drink in bars and pubs, with small snacks being eaten.
The Spaniards use the term Tapeo for this very purpose, derived from Tapas, which also involves drinking alcohol. The Spanish verb "tapear" means "to go through bars and restaurants to eat tapas."
In northern Italy, the aperitivo culture is widespread in all cities in Lombardy, as well as in the neighboring provinces and in many ski resorts in the Alps. The aperitivo is known in many bars in Genoa, Turin, Rome and Naples, but in the southern part of Italy and on the islands it hardly exists.
