SUMMARY:Manarola (Liguria): World's Largest Nativity Scene
DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard about the world’s largest Christmas tree lighting in Umbria and now there is the world’s largest presepe in the town of Manarola\, one of the five towns in the Cinque Terre. The project was realized by Mario Andreoli\, a retired railway worker who has dedicated over 30 years to the installation and in 2007 it was added to the Guinness World Records. Not only is the view of this nativity scene breathtaking but it is also environmentally friendly thanks to the photovoltaic factory that was built to supply electricity to it. If you’d like to know where to get the best view\, please visit our guide to Unique Christmas Celebrations. \nNote: Dates have not been confirmed; please visit the event website for updates. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

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.
