Waiting for August 15th | Ferragosto

 
maria with pinocchio in roma
A recent visit with Pinocchio…
e dolce far niente..  ( How sweet it is to do nothing)
Waking up to a chorus of church bells on a lazy August day..except for the occasional barking of a dog or motorbike speeding by there is a quietness in the air..but it is only the quiet of a summer day in August.
Waiting for August 15th everyone seems to have given up on normal daily life in preparation for one of the biggest Holidays here next to Christmas…a day that everyone seems to worship..a day that brings more relaxation than a day at any spa..no matter where you are in Italy, even if at home, it is a feeling that pervades everything you do..it is a feeling in the air that is hypnotizing something that you must give into…
