Valentines Day in Spain, Italy and Austria

In Austria there are obscure courtship customs that might be associated with St Valentine's Day.
It has become customary for a young man to present his loved one with a bunch of flowers for Valentine's Day.In Italy Valentine's Day is celebrated as a Spring Festival and his held in the open air. The young would gather in leafy glades or ornamental gardens, where they would listen to music and hear poetry read, then they would stroll off with their valentine together into the gardens.
This custom over the years has ceased and it has not been celebrated for centuries.

In the Italian city of Turin it was customary for an engaged couple to announce their engagement on this day. For a while before the day shops would be decorated and filled with all sorts of bon-bons.

In Spain it is customary for courting couples to exchange gifts and for husbands to send their wives a bunch of roses.
