St. Joseph's Day (March 19) in Italy

We'll be in Italy on March 19, St. Joseph's Day. What might we expect? Asking not just to plan around possible closures, but also to keep our eyes open for any unique happenings (parades, festivals, etc.). This will be a (train) travel day for us, going from Venice to Florence.

It's been several years, but I always used to see zeppole for sale on St Joseph's Day. I once saw some children parading in costumes outside of their nursery school. Hopefully some Italian residents can give you an answer, but IME it is more of a celebration for Italian Americans.
