Two weeks ago it was Ferragosto, the most holiday-ish of all Italian public holidays. Established by Rome’s first emperor in 18 BCE as a break following the harvest, the Feriae Augusti (holidays of Augustus)
Looking forward to some fascinating stories from Puglia Agnes. We plan to spend 2 and 1/2 weeks there next April. You always add new layers of meaning to everything.
I also spent Ferragosto in Basilicata but after escaping the Roman heat I did not have the stamina to leave my little paese and go exploring. This archeological park is still on my list!

He is indeed exquisite.
I've never seen him before, he's magnificent.
