August-5-2022
August is the most relaxed month of the year in (most of) Italy. But while chiuso per ferie (“closed for vacation”) signs are commonplace, the country’s events calendar isn’t really any less packed — rather, it’s the nature of the events that changes. In lieu of arty exhibitions or high-brow conferences, you’re likely to find re-enactments of obscure historical events, music festivals, rustic rural sagre (food festivals) and open-air film screenings.
