Why do Italians wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve?
intimo rosso
Italian New Year's superstition
red underwear worn on New Year’s Eve for good luck
This quiz asks Italians which color they wear for luck on New Year’s Eve — the answer is rosso, red. Specifically, the tradition calls for intimo rosso: new red underwear, worn (and often given as a gift) on December 31st to bring good fortune, love, and prosperity in the year ahead.
The custom blends two old threads: in ancient Rome, red was considered apotropaic — believed to ward off evil and to symbolize power, fertility, and wealth — while a separate strand of red-for-luck imagery reached Europe from Chinese New Year traditions. Today the ritual is casual but widespread: buy it new, wear it that one night, and it’s done its job.
