The celebration also corresponded with religious activities honoring numerous gods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <strong>Christianity<\/strong> developed, Ferragosto became associated with the <strong>Assumption<\/strong> of the Virgin Mary, a religious feast commemorating the idea that Mary was taken into heaven, body and soul. As a result, August 15th is both a <strong>public holiday<\/strong> and a holy day of devotion in Italy, with many people attending Mass in the morning before enjoying the rest of the day&#8217;s festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_df0592-c9\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_df0592-c9\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_df0592-c9\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading653_df0592-c9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_df0592-c9\"><strong>Ferragosto Today: A Summer Celebration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For contemporary Italians, Ferragosto is the <strong>summer holiday<\/strong>, and many people associate it with vacations, beach getaways, and long family dinners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire country<strong> slows down,<\/strong> and cities that are normally buzzing with activity might appear empty as residents travel to the seaside or the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_d8919d-93\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_d8919d-93\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_d8919d-93\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading653_d8919d-93 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_d8919d-93\"><strong>Beach and Countryside Escapes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the holiday falls during the hottest time of year, many Italians choose to celebrate Ferragosto at the <strong>beach<\/strong> or in the <strong>mountains<\/strong>.

This event is part of the famous <strong>Palio di Siena<\/strong>, in which the city&#8217;s districts (known as contrade) compete in a thrilling bareback sprint around <strong>Piazza del Campo<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_bf65c4-23\"><strong>Buon Ferragosto<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 15th, people in Italy commonly wish each other<strong> <\/strong>&#8220;<strong>Buon Ferragosto!<\/strong>&#8221; and share warm wishes with friends and family. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image653_cc33c9-fe.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image653_cc33c9-fe .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:255px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image653_cc33c9-fe.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image653_cc33c9-fe .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image653_cc33c9-fe figure{max-width:255px;}.kb-image653_cc33c9-fe .image-is-svg, .kb-image653_cc33c9-fe .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image653_cc33c9-fe .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image653_cc33c9-fe\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"buon ferragosto What is FERRAGOSTO in Italy and how is celebrated\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-17399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.easitalian.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/7502107.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple phrase communicates best wishes for a happy and restful holiday, whether in person, over the phone, or via text message.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_1de566-07\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_1de566-07\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_1de566-07\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading653_1de566-07 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading653_1de566-07\"><strong>Empty street in Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Italian city looks like a ghost town.

Dalla fine di luglio al 20 agosto, infatti, a causa del clima estremamente <strong>caldo<\/strong> in tutta la penisola, <strong>moltissimi uffici <\/strong>e negozi chiudono <strong>per almeno<\/strong> due <strong>settimane<\/strong> e, di <strong>conseguenza<\/strong>, milioni di italiani affollano le <strong>autostrade<\/strong>, gli aeroporti, gli alberghi e le spiagge.<br>Il Ferragosto di solito coincide con uno dei giorni <strong>pi\u00f9<\/strong> <strong>torridi<\/strong> dell\u2019estate e per questo viene dedicato alle <strong>gite<\/strong> in montagna <strong>in cerca di fresco<\/strong> o pi\u00f9 spesso al <strong>mare<\/strong> per <strong>immergersi<\/strong> per una <strong>giornata<\/strong> intera nell\u2019acqua.<br>Chi <strong>decide<\/strong> di

un <strong>palloncino<\/strong> <strong>pieno<\/strong> d\u2019acqua lanciato a <strong>sorpresa<\/strong> contro qualcuno; d\u2019altra parte, <strong>ricevere<\/strong> un gavettone in testa quando si \u00e8 rilassati sotto il sole non \u00e8 un <strong>piacere<\/strong>.<br>Per il tradizionale pranzo di Ferragosto, le famiglie italiane s<strong>i riuniscono<\/strong> e <strong>trascorrono<\/strong> un considerevole numero di <strong>ore<\/strong> a <strong>tavola<\/strong>.<br>Si fanno picnic <strong>ovunque<\/strong> e <strong>raramente<\/strong> <strong>ci si
