guidoLaMoto Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Italians still celebrate the Ferragosto, a two week vacation for all in the middle of August each year. The tradition dates back to the beginning of The Empire when Octavian declared a holiday (Feriae Augusti) for everybody, including the beasts of burden, at the end of the harvest season. https://www.savoringitaly.com/buon-ferragosto-italys-august-holiday/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
