This public holiday celebrated in Italy on 15th August was once an agricultural festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of autumn rest (for both people and Mother Nature).
Today, Ferragosto splits the summer in two: it heralds the start of the holidays for some πποΈ, a βcomebackβ to daily routines for others πΌπ, and for many it may be simply a date on the calendar π Β in an otherwise seemingly uneventful week.
But whether itβs a return to normalcy, the beginning of a late-summer getawayπΒ Β or simply a day of enforced relaxationπ, we hope you can embrace this day as a ritual passage towards something new and beautiful to carry with you throughout the rest of the year.
