in southern italy at this time of year there are loads of feste, feast days for the villages saints.. there are illuminations in the streets a procession behind the saints statue and lots of drinking and eating and at the end of the festa a firework display.

also there are what is known as 'sagra'. these are festa in the town or village street for local food. so there may be sagra della cipolla, onion, trota, trout, it depends on what is a speciality of the area.

there is a really big sagra in a village in basilicata called spinosso, there are tweleve stalls all thro' the village selling all the local dishes, and wines..

these are great nights out as there is also music and dancing and much merryment.
