SITE NEWS 'Ferragosto' 2010 - August 15th and half way through the traditional summer period of Italy. This is the week when many tourist businesses make their yearly income as cities empty and beaches fill up. Not a good weekend to be on the motorways, autostrade and such. August is always a busy month here in MCdV. The Commune publishes a flyer that covers some of the events. Yesterday was a banner day. The morning started with a visitation by a Motoraduno - the 30th of Umbria, which involved numerous motorcycles from various European clubs arriving through the morning rain and fog. BMWs, Hondas, Yamaha, Harley Davidsons, at least one Triumph and a smattering of Italian Ducati's. The town was filled with the rumble of their engines bouncing off the stone walls and filling the piazzas.
The afternoon included a Mostra -Art Show Opening of the work by the instructors at the International School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture. We generally have the final shows of each terms students, roughly every three weeks, but this was special.
