SUMMARY:Venice: Festa del Redentore
DESCRIPTION:The Redentore Feast (Feast of the Redeemer) is a deeply felt celebration in Venice as it combines religion with entertainment\, thanks to the Saturday night phantasmagorical fireworks’ display attracting thousands of visitors: a kaleidoscope of shades\, from a game of light and colors on the inimitable setting in St. Mark’s Basin\, lights up the spires\, domes and bell towers of the city. At dusk\, plenty of boats traditionally decked out with flower festoons\, colourful balloons and brightly Chinese lamps begin to flock into both St. Mark’s Basin and the Giudecca Canal. Waiting for the firework display\, which starts at 11:30 p.m. and lasts late into the night\, people enjoy a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialties. The spectacular festival is held every third weekend of July and is second only to Venice’s Carnevale. \nThis tradition dates back to 1577\, right at the end of a terrible plague. The Redentore Feast was first held to celebrate the construction of the Palladio’s Redentore Church\, built on the Giudecca Island to give thanks for being freed from the Black Plague. Celebrations include the Holy Mass presided by the Bishop and the religious procession to the Palladian basilica\, which can be done via an impressive 330-meter pontoon bridge. The weekend finishes with the Regata su gondole\, a gondola race organised as part of the Voga alla Veneta rowing season. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Rome: Miracle of the Madonna of the Snow
DESCRIPTION:According to legend\, in 352 AD\, a rich and bored Roman gentleman experienced a vivid dream in which the Virgin Mary told him that a certain hill in Rome would be covered in snow in the morning\, and that he should then use his money to build a church on that site. \nBeing that Rome was deep in a steamy summer in the beginning of August\, the gentleman didn’t think much of this prophecy\, but decided to test it out nonetheless. Pope Liberius was also having a very similar dream. The gentleman and the Pope bumped into one another\, then ran together towards the hill\, where they both observed snow falling… \nToday this is the home of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The miracle is re-enacted every August. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002. Get a free issue to see what we are all about.

SUMMARY:Rome: Feast of San Lorenzo
DESCRIPTION:The martyrdom of San Lorenzo is celebrated in Rome with fireworks and celebrations throughout the area around his crypt on the Via Tiburtina\, where he was killed in 258 AD. The patron saint of librarians\, firemen\, bakers\, and other professions whose jobs involve fire and roasting\, San Lorenzo’s association with such incendiary professions is certainly a disturbing one — His martyrdom is said to have occurred by slowly being roasted on a gridiron by the troops of the Emperor\, and\, as he died\, is believed to have said in Latin\, “Ecce\, miser\, assasti tibi partem unam\, regire aliam et manduca” (“Here\, you miserable person: you have roasted one side for yourself\, now turn me over and eat”). \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

DESCRIPTION:To kick off ferragosto this friendly battle\, also called the Palio delle Pupe\, amongst 14 neighboring towns in Abruzzo puts on a show for spectators.

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.

SUMMARY:Nuoro (Sardinia): The Feast of the Redeemer
DESCRIPTION:Since August 29th\, 1901\, when Pope Leo XIII erected a bronze\, 23 ft. tall statue of Christ the Redeemer on Monte Ortobene in honor of the Jubilee Year\, locals and visitors have participated in celebratory procession to the statue from Nuoro’s Cathedral. At Dawn\, the faithful participants of the march congregate in the square outside the cathedral. They sing songs as they follow a cart decorated with ears of wheat and oleanders all the way to the statue. Once the parade reaches the statue\, a mass is sung. After mass the procession quietly returns to the town before another colorful parade with masks and traditional costumes takes place. The parade ends with a folklore festival inside the amphitheater. \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.

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.

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.
