Italian fairs and folklore
EVENTS IN ITALY
Historically, culturally and agriculturally rich, Italy is a milestone of today's western culture. Italy is a prolific producer of vegetables, fruit, livestock, olive oil, wine, pasta as well as art, architecture, music and literature.
Italians are proud and aware of their wealth and they are always ready to show this pride, celebrating. They love their food, their music, their families, their religion and their heritage and for this reason every little village at least once a year has its own reason to celebrate.
People meet in the main square or along the streets. Colours, music and good smells fill the air sometimes for a whole day or a whole
week. They enjoy life and traditions!
Italians are lively, charismatic, and sociable and they show great passion for everything they do. Songs and dances, food and good wine, hugs and good jokes,
enthusiasms for ancient sports traditions welcome foreigners deeply surrounded by the magic atmosphere of these Italian traditions and old
places.
