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:Asti (Piedmont): Palio
DESCRIPTION:Since 1275\, this ancient horse race has turned Asti‘s Piazza Alfieri into a racetrack\, and has linked modern Asti with its medieval roots. Twenty-one Contrade (city divisions) compete in the central square\, while over 1\,200 individuals donning medieval garb parade proudly throughout the streets of the city. The traditional flag-wavers (Sbandieratori) also run their own Palio against residents of neighboring towns. To the winner (both horse and human alike) goes the spoils — a crimson velvet drape — which will remain in their city division’s possession for the year. Tickets start at 25€ and free for all children 5 years of age and under. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
