Mother’s Day – May 13 According to some, Italian Mother's Day is rooted in ancient Roman culture. But although the Romans did pay homage to Juno and Cybele, their goddesses of motherhood and marriage, they did so earlier in the year — reflected in the current celebration of Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom in March. There's no indication, though, that the modern Italian celebrations have anything to do with ancient history. In fact, the very first "Mother's Day" was introduced by the Fascist regime in 1933 as La Giornata della madre e del bambino — the day of the mother and child — a Verona Legend Cars tribute to all mothers bearing good sons to perpetuate the status quo.
