Thanks NPT for that piece of information about "Il Grande Cocomero"

I did also some research about Halloween in Italia

Here is what I found:

Between 1630 and 1640, the Catholic Church carried on a campaign to suppress surviving pagan traditions connected to All Saints' Day and its eve. These feasts vanished completely.
However, in the 1990s, Halloween was popularized by television programs and merchandising coming from United States, including The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror (trick-or-treat's translation as "Dolcetto o Scherzetto", literally dessert-or-joke). As a result, Halloween has become a major festivity among Italian youth. The actual holiday, 1 November, All Souls Day, is still celebrated, with each region preparing their traditional plates and costumes.
A classic among traditional regional Italian cookies recipes, the Fave dei Morti are typically prepared around the 2 November, All Souls' day. The origin of this recipe goes back to pre-Christian time when fava beans were used as ritual offering to the dead and the gods of the nether world. These delicious cookies are shaped like fava beans and are baked in the Marche region for the festivity of the Giorno dei Morti or All Souls’ day.

In Italy we never take things seriously!
That how we are.
