La Festa di Capodanno - Printable Italian Word Search

Midnight is getting closer. There’s spumante waiting to be opened, a few crumbs of pandoro and panettone left on the table, and the music is becoming more upbeat. Before long, someone will probably start a trenino weaving its way around the room.
It must be Capodanno!

This word search comes with a little extra challenge. The words beneath the first grid are in English, so you’ll need to work out their Italian translations before you can find them.
If you get stuck, there’s a table further down the page where you can check them.

The second puzzle uses the same Italian words, but they’re hidden in different parts of the grid, so you have two full puzzle pages to solve.

Buon divertimento!🥂
