SUMMARY:Montepulciano: Barrel Race
DESCRIPTION:Every last Sunday of August this Tuscan hilltop town is consumed in the\, by then\, week-long celebration of the Bravio delle Botti\, also known as the “Barrel Race”.

SUMMARY:Monza: Italian Grand Prix
DESCRIPTION:Monza is regarded by many as the embodiment of Formula One racing. Not only is it a fantastic example of a track that combines speed with skill\, it also has a heart and soul all of its own. It has seen some of the finest races of all time\, but also some of the sport’s worst accidents. The names of great drivers and the sounds of engines from years gone by linger in the grand old trees surrounding the track in the royal park. \nFormula One racing visited the circuit as part of the inaugural season in 1950\, and it has remained a permanent fixture on the calendar ever since. Over that time\, Monza has borne witness to an incredible list of historic moments\, famous victories and horrifying crashes. All combine to make it one of the most magical places on the Formula One calendar. For many there is nowhere that encapsulates the sport better than this circuit. The Italians call it La Pista Magica\, the magic track\, a description few would disagree with. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Sacile (Friuli-Venezia Giulia): Bird Festival (Sagra dei Osei)
DESCRIPTION:The Bird Festival (Sagra dei Osei) is surely the most ancient of its kind and one of the oldest festivals in Italy and Europe. In fact\, the first historical records date back to 2nd August 1274. The prestigious goal of seven centuries of life for the event\, which was achieved several years ago\, confirms the charm and success of the Bird Festival. Born as a market\, over the years it has turned into a song festival which has inspired many artists and writers. Today it is a national exhibition-market and its song competition is famous all over Europe. Owing to the presence of many aviary and ornamental birds\, it is the most important European bird event and crowns the best bird in show. To end the event\, there will be the Mangialonga (eating marathon)\, a food and wine itinerary that takes place along the streets of Sacile\, stopping at the various restaurants and inns of the town. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Viterbo: Festa di Santa Rosa
DESCRIPTION:If you happen to be in Rome on the third day of September\, catch the train to Viterbo for the Festa di Santa Rosa\, the festival of the city’s patron saint. Thousands flock to see one hundred facchini\, or strongmen\, carry a 90-foot tall\, four-ton macchina – an obelisk-shaped statue – of the Santa Rosa through the winding streets of the city. The tradition began hundreds of years ago\, with the statue becoming progressively larger and heavier until the 19th century\, when the macchina toppled over\, crushing facchini and spectators alike. Not to worry\, however: a disaster has not happened since\, although it is still said that the facchini must sign their wills before they can bear the weight of the macchina. The macchina is truly an incredible sight – a gigantic tower\, swathed in light\, seems to float over the apartment buildings as it glows against the night sky. Onlookers line up for the priming viewing spots in the early morning\, sending friends to bring back sustenance from the piazzas\, where dozens of stands are set up in a carnival-like atmosphere. The Festa di Santa Rosa is almost an other-worldly experience\, so don’t miss it. \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.

SUMMARY:Florence: Rificolona (Lantern Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Though the origin of this colorful celebration is disputed\, many believe Rificolona began as a celebration on the eve of the Feast of the Madonna\, the nativity of the virgin. It is said that villagers would start their pilgrimage before the break of dawn to the city of Florence on the eve of her birthday. They relied on their lanterns\, or rificolone\, to light their. Others affirm the holiday’s roots are found deep within pagan tradition. In any case\, Rificolona continues to be celebrated in Florence and other parts of Tuscany. Every year\, people can visit the market in piazza Santissima Annunziata in the days leading up to the event. On the evening of the 7th\, children and adults parade through the city while singing songs and brandishing colorful rificolone on sticks. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Monza: Italian Grand Prix
DESCRIPTION:Monza is regarded by many as the embodiment of Formula One racing. Not only is it a fantastic example of a track that combines speed with skill\, it also has a heart and soul all of its own. It has seen some of the finest races of all time\, but also some of the sport’s worst accidents. The names of great drivers and the sounds of engines from years gone by linger in the grand old trees surrounding the track in the royal park. \nFormula One racing visited the circuit as part of the inaugural season in 1950\, and it has remained a permanent fixture on the calendar ever since. Over that time\, Monza has borne witness to an incredible list of historic moments\, famous victories and horrifying crashes. All combine to make it one of the most magical places on the Formula One calendar. For many there is nowhere that encapsulates the sport better than this circuit. The Italians call it La Pista Magica\, the magic track\, a description few would disagree with. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
