September is one of the best months to be in Italy! The reasons are both weather-related and festival-related.
This month marks the beginning of the food festival season, as it coincides with the harvest season. You'll find the calendar filled with festivals celebrating everything from truffles, figs and prosciutto to wine. Celebrations include:
- The city of Verona celebrates Juliet's birthday. Parades, dances and street entertainment are just a few of many special activities.
- Venice Regatta Storica is a day of historic boat races through the Grand Canal, and while it's certainly not held specifically for tourists, it's great fun to witness.
- International Film Festival in Venice usually begins in late August, but stretches into early September. If you're into celebrity-watching, then the Venice Lido is the place to be during the festival.
Ciao, ciao,
Maria
