Festivals and Celebrations

One of the best ways to get to know a country is through its festivals. While this often means braving crowds of boisterous people, especially in the south, it also means enjoying the food and drink of the region at its flamboyant best. In southern Italy it seems as if there is always some town or village in the region that is in party mode, with saint’s days, celebrations of particular seasonal foods or dishes, sporting events and much more.
