Buon Ferragosto - Happy Summer

   Ferragosto is the must have fun summer holiday in Italy. The country is virtually shut down during the days before and after the 15th August, the feast of the Assumption of Mary. In certain towns and cities across the country and in various parts of Europe where Catholics live, processions and solemn masses are held. Many go to the sea or visit the countryside and enjoy impressive fireworks. When I lived in Italy; I loved this annual 'scampagnata,' almost like a big picnic with friends and families. Everyone simply have fun. Enjoy these last weeks of summer with your families and friends. At the countryside or in the sea, we are in a masterpiece like a daily painting. Infinite signs of beauty surround us! Greetings from Don Ronaldo & Don Miho.
