On August 15, all Italy celebrates ferragosto, church and pagan feast...
At this time, cities are empty, shops are closing.
On the streets you can only meet tourists who are fooled by the heat
Well, all Italians are leaving for two weeks to the sea or to the mountains!
Upd... judging by the numerous discussions on the religious topic that my post has caused, I want to add that it was not about it at all, but about freedom and the beginning of the holidays that comes after August 15
For Modern Italians, this holiday is a lot of fun!
Someone goes to the club and there celebrating with friends, someone on a BBQ outside the city, but most people try to get to the beach! At this time, all Italian Sea Resorts are filled with locals...
