In Italy, annually celebrated on August 15th, FERRAGOSTO may well be considered the height of the Italian summer. Many Italians still take their summer vacation around this time, with the cities emptying and the beaches (spiaggie), mountains (montagne), and parks (parchi), filling up. FERRAGOSTO, which coincides with the Catholic feast of the Assumption of Mary, is a holiday that dates back to Roman Emperor Augustus’ times. Several festivals took place during the month of August to celebrate the harvest; in 18BC, Augustus introduced ‘Feriae Augusti’ to connect them all and provide a longer period of rest after the intense agricultural labor of the harvest. The popular tradition of taking a trip at Ferragosto was introduced in the second half of the 1920’s and was established as a national holiday by Mussolini. This initiated the process of vacationing in August, when most of Italy shuts down. The tradition continues with Ferragosto being a true celebration of summer. Come celebrate with us! Italian music, food, dear friends and family…a true ‘festa all’italiana’. REMEMBER THE DATE TO CELEBRATE!
