SUMMARY:Ferragosto
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer and in August many Italians are looking forward to Ferragosto which starts on August 15th. It’s known as a two-week vacation period with roots in ancient Rome. When Emperor Augustus invented the feriae Augusti to mark the end harvest he also made it a moment that signified a period of well-deserved rest. Later\, during the fascist regime\, this time of the year was used to promote travel within the country\, including discounts on train voyages to see all the beauty that Italy has to offer. Today it is still a largely celebrated holiday. \nIn Rome\, on the evening of August 15th (the Feast of the Assumption)\, the piazze are filled with the performances of professional dancers for the Gran Ballo di Ferragosto. Squares throughout the city are enlivened by performances of all walks of life\, from tango to rock\, hip-hop\, ballroom dancing\, and more\, with a giant concert in the Parco Archeologico of Teatro Marcello\, as well! \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Ferrara: Buskers Festival
DESCRIPTION:This August\, if you find yourself in Emilia-Romagna take a train and walk through the historic streets of Ferrara and meet international street musicians as they perform various genres of music from around the world. The festival was originated by Stefano Bottoni\, a native ferrarese\, who was inspired by his visit to New York in the 1980s to see his own city become more welcoming to street musicians. After proposing the idea to the mayor\, the festival soon became an international hit known even to the talented bolognese Lucio Dalla who would go on to perform in the festival in 1989 with Jimmy Villotti where they blended in with the crowd. Since the 1990s the festival has had a guest country for each year (a majority of the street musicians would come from this country). Not only is this a culturally rich event for all\, but it is also part of Eco-friendly festivals with initiatives that promote free water distributions from the town’s aqueduct\, the “Last Minute Market a Ferrara” where unsold items from the festival are gathered\, shuttle and shared ride services. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
