Cultural Note

Italian birthday celebrations are social rituals — 'il festeggiato' (the birthday person) is honoured with dinner, gifts, and the traditional 'tanti auguri' song. Organising someone's birthday is an act of love. The response 'non devi' (you don't have to) is always expected, and always overruled.
