Basically, they all sleep in and wake up at noon, head to the beach, bum around there until they go home, and eat some delicious food made by mamma or nonna or zia. Then, they nap with everyone else during the siesta. In the evening, which starts around 9:30 p.m. for them, they might snag a few dollars from their parents for a pizza or panino and a gelato, over which they linger in the company of friends before they head to the local discoteca or bar, which is usually more about strong espresso than liquor, by the way.
