Ferragosto
•
Felice Ferragosto! Ferragosto is an Italian holiday traditionally
celebrated on August 15 of each year. As for the history of the
holiday it may have originally been related to a mid-summer
celebration representing the end of the hard labor season of
harvesting in the fields. During the Roman Empire this time of year
represented a time to honor the gods, in particular Diana, and the
cycle of fertility and ripening. In fact, the present Italian name of
the holiday is derived from its original Latin name “Feriae Agusti” or
Festivals of the Emperor Agustus.
•
Presently, Ferragosto is mainly a short holiday for brief
vacations. The holiday also coincides with the peak activity of the
Perseid meteor shower, which gives Italians a particular viewing
advantage for this astronomical event. To most all Italians
Ferragosto today means sun, beaches, family, vacation, fireworks,
happiness and “gavettoni”. Gavettoni meaning bag or basket full of
water – also know as water balloons! Be prepared, young people
would line the streets in preparation for battle with each other and
naturally to get soaked with water!
