The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using .
I could not provide the 2007 dates for some of the events listed above, please check back later for an update. If you do know the date for a specific event above or to include any that I may have missed, please leave a comment and I'll update the event and/or blog entry with the correct date(s).
Needless to say, there are 1,000's of events in Italy and all through the year. One of the most comprehensive sources can be found at Italian Holidays, Festivals, Street Parties… – "a list of Italian holidays and festivals which can be accessed by city, region and date." – Source: the Hostetler web site. There is not one source for all these events, festivals, etc. Unfortunately, one needs to look at many, many listings to find the event or festival that they like to attend. The best way to find an event is to ask around and to the locals of the area you are traveling in who may share with you one of their favorites.
That's it for Friday, 05 January 2007: venerdì, 05 gennaio 2007.
Felice Anno Nuovo!
