SUMMARY:La Bruna (Umbria): Festa Della Battitura
DESCRIPTION:Italians love a reason to party and this is evident in their festas celebrating the most obscure of objects\, like in the small town Pierantonio\, where they celebrate the Battitura. This is the farming machine that cuts and collects hay. You can find these machines in mid to late June moving through golden shimmering fields. They honor this machine for 10 days every June. A menu filled with pasta\, grilled meats\, and a local dish called Torta al Testo\, and a different Italian band performing night attracts the whole town to gather together. The whole night young children run around and enjoy “zucchero filato\,” cotton candy\, and old couples line dance. If you want to experience an authentic festa\, this event captures the true essence of Italy’s party culture. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Florence: Calcio Storico
DESCRIPTION:Calcio Storico\, a 500-year-old sport described as a cross between football (soccer)\, rugby\, and boxing\, dates back to the 1500s. Today\, three games are held in June — two semifinals and a final match — to correspond with St. John’s Day\, the Patron Saint of Florence. Four teams of 27 people\, to represent the four districts of Florence\, also represent the same four teams that competed when the sport was founded in the 1500s. Players compete in medieval garb and attack each other in what turns out to be a bloody game. The goal of the complex game is to seize the ball and put it in the net (which runs the entire width of the sand pitch) by whatever means possible. The winning team receives a pile of steaks equivalent to the weight of a white calf. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

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.
