Confetti

Confetti is a small piece of paper, polyester film or metal material or ribbon usually thrown at celebrations (especially parades and weddings). Originated in Latin dessert shop, in the plural form of confetti Italian cookies, Xiaotian. Modern paper scraps are symbolic rituals for throwing grains and sweets on special occasions. As an ancient custom that can be traced back to the pagan era, they are the traditions of many cultures in the whole history, but the adaptation from sugar and grain to paper has a history of hundreds of years.

There are many colors of confetti. The confetti on sale has many different shapes. There is a difference between confetti and flash. The flash is smaller than the confetti (the fragments are usually no more than 1mm) and generally glossy. Most table scraps are glossy, too. Although they are called metal confetti, they are actually metallized PVC. The most popular shape is the star. Seasonally, snowflake scraps are the most needed shape [need to be quoted]. Most party stores carry paper and scrap metal. Confetti is usually used for social gatherings such as parties, weddings and annuities, but because of the gloomy atmosphere, it is usually considered taboo at funerals. The simplest confetti is shredded paper (see tape parade), which can be made with scissors or shredders. Other paper scraps usually include Chad made from waste paper. You can use a punch to make a small round Chad. For more complex Chad, a punch can be used. Due to the aerodynamic characteristics of taxiing, most paper plates will vibrate with shaking, resulting in flight time.

In recent years, it has become more and more common to use confetti as additional cosmetics for trophy display in sports events. In this case, a larger paper tape (usually 20 mm x 60 mm) will be used and the color should be suitable for the team or celebration. For a small number of confetti, ABS or PVC "buckets" can be filled, and the confetti can be ejected by using compressed air or carbon dioxide through "cannon" (small pressure vessel). For large places or large-scale confetti, use a venturi blower driven by carbon dioxide to drive a larger number of confetti for a larger distance.

Since the middle ages, participants in carnival parades in northern Italy have often thrown objects at people, mainly mud balls, eggs, coins or fruits. These traditions still exist in different forms in some towns, such as the battle of oranges in evreah.

Since the 14th century, Milan has had ample evidence of the use of throwing objects by parades. The nobles threw candy and flowers during the parade, while the aristocracy threw the eggshells filled with perfume and perfume. Low class people laugh at nobles by throwing rotten eggs, and fighting between rival factions or regions becomes common. In 1597, mayor Juan fern á ndez de Velasco banned egg throwing, squirtaroli (spraying liquid on the street) and other immoral acts. The custom disappeared for about a century, returning to the 1700s with the introduction of small candies (mainly sugar coated seeds). Most of the seeds used for candy candy are cilantro (coriandolo in Italian), a common plantation in the region: the name of Italian confetti is indeed coriandoli.

However, these candies are expensive, and the lower classes usually use small chalk balls instead, called Benis de GESS. In 1808 Milan mayor's order, these were officially defined as "the only materials that can be thrown during the parade", but the battle with them in the 1800's became too big and dangerous, involving hundreds of people, and the use of chalk particles was prohibited. People used mud balls to circumvent the ban.

In 1875, Enrico Mangili, an Italian businessman from Milan, began selling scraps of paper for the upcoming Carnevale di Milano, an annual parade on city streets.

At that time, the province of Milan was one of the main centers of silk manufacturing. Mangili began to collect small perforated paper trays, by-products of perforated sheets used by silkworm breeders to make cage bedding, and sell them for profit. This new type of paper confetti is popular with customers. Compared with other substitutes, it is less harmful, more interesting and cheaper. Its use quickly replaces the previous customs in Milan and northern Italy.

According to Scientific American, the throwing of paper scraps took place on New Year's Eve in Paris in 1885. Confetti became common across Europe in just a few decades (unlike the paper parade at the automatic register, which has never spread as widely as in the United States).
