Greetings!
Summer is beginning to wind down but Italian travelers still have a lot to look forward to during the month of August.
Rome hosts the Estate Romana, which is a well-known festival of music and performing arts, including a variety of musical acts and theatrical events.
Cortona is home to the annual Tuscan Sun Festival, which begins the first weekend in August. The festival features concerts, art exhibits, wellness, cooking and wine tastings. Visitors may have the opportunity to experience a Tai Chi class, listen to classical music, take a cooking class or attend a classical music concert - all in one day!
Ci vediamo presto.
Ciao, ciao,
Maria |
