I don't think it was the 4th of July, but it's like the 4th of July. And, oh man, there's just fireworks galore. I mean, just intense fireworks. So loud, and so many fireworks. They put our fireworks displays to shame.

One of the main holidays in Italy is called Ferragosto, which is the... it doesn't really translate to anything, but it just means August break, which that means that pretty much all of August, and especially for the 15th of August, which is Giorno di Ferragosto, which is the day of Ferragosto, that everything shuts down. There's no stores open, everyone goes to the beach, and there's just nothing. So if you travel in Italy, like going around August, it will be all the natives will be on vacation, unless they work in like the really touristy areas, and so all of the genuine good experience that you want, most of it will be shut down. But it's a great time to go to the beach.

Two main holidays that just pop into my head right off the bat. Easter, which is Pascha, which is huge. They do lots of parades and the same for Natale, which is Christmas. There will be lots of parades and you'll start to see these little figurines come out and little nativity scenes that are really beautiful and extremely elaborate that you'll have a lot of fun looking at. They also celebrate a lot of the saints, so you'll probably see some more of the major saints being celebrated, but Italians love to celebrate. They love to eat and you'll have a lot of good food, especially around Christmas.
