☀️ Buon Ferragosto! 🏖️
Ferragosto is an Italian holiday celebrated on 15 August. The name Ferragosto comes from the Latin term ‘feriae Augusti’, meaning “Augustus’s rest”. It honours the first Roman emperor, Octavian Augustus, after whom the month of August is named. During this time, people celebrated their well-deserved rest after the harvest and fieldwork had finished. The celebrations culminated in a big party on 15 August. 🎆
Today, the tradition has changed and most Italians spend Ferragosto on the beach, relaxing and enjoying the fresh sea air. 🏖️
