Halloween, the most terrifying night of the year, is certainly not an Italian celebration. Yet even in our country this event, of Celtic origin, inspired by death and the occult, is starting to take hold. Venice...
Umbria is the green heart of Italy, a land where time appears to be suspended between the relaxing landscapes, rich artistic and religious heritage and food and wine culture supremacy.
“The inhabitants of the Amalfi Coast are crazy, they are drunk on sun. But they know how to live, taking advantage of a strength that few of us possess: the strength of fantasy”.
This is how Roberto Rossellini, maestro of neo-realist cinema and husband of Ingrid Bergman, loved to remember the Amalfi Coast where he set many of his films (mainly in Maiori) between the 1940s and the 1950s. The fantasy of the inhabitants and the excellent climate make the Amalfi Coast a special place to visit, particularly towards the end of the summer, in the autumn, when most of the tourists have gone home and it is possible to enjoy the colors and scents of these places in tranquility, savoring the local products which are celebrated with lively traditional festivals.
“There is quite possibly no better way to truly connect with a foreign culture than to join in a local festival” Ann Abel is convinced of this, she is a journalist on the authoritative US magazine, Forbes, which periodically draws up a chart of the richest people in the world and has named the Teatro del Fuoco ® International Fire-dancing Festival as one of the twelve coolest events in the world to which it is worth making a trip. A trip to Sicily where, for eight years now, the Festival has been touring around the Aeolian Islands, Etna, Palermo, Catania and the Aegadian Islands.
This year, for the ninth edition, the Teatro del Fuoco will be in Palermo from 29 to 30 July.
Anyone who undertakes a tour of Italy is constantly offered the opportunity to admire the monuments and architectures of the past in the thousands of places that preserve the art and history of the Bel Paese. However the spectacle that greets visitors to Scorrano, a small village in Salento, Puglia, leaves them speechless. Because here the architectures are made of light, yet they are just as impressive and majestic as the greatest monuments.
Every year, in July, thousands of people travel to Scorrano for the feast of Santa Domenica.
