~~APRIL FOOL'S DAY~~
In the 16th century in France the New Year's Day was celebrated on 25th March. The celebrations, which included gifts, were concluding, with banquets and parties, on 1st April . In the year 1564, nevertheless, with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, it was proclaimed that the New Year's Day was moving to the 1st of January, but many French opposite to this change continued with their feasts and their exchanges of presents during the week of 1st April. The jokes ridiculed this fact, sending absurd presents and invitations to non-existent parties. The aim of a joke of the first of April was known as " fish of April ", because in that epoch of the year the Sun was leaving the sign of the sign of Pisces.
Years later, they made this practise, into a tradition which would be spread over Italy, England an America.
