Ferragosto
-
August 15, the Feast of the Assumption, is the day most Italians head to the beach or lakes for a two-week holiday, and life outside the resorts comes to a virtual halt. Mantua does have a 15 August celebration of street artists, but Milan virtually shuts down. Only the restaurants and bars of the Navigli remain open.
