Talk:Ferragosto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From what I know and also referring to the Italian version of Ferragosto, Ferragost meaning is "August Vacation" and it was a festivity of the end of major agricolture works...

It's just on the same day when the Blessed Virgin Mary was bodily assumed in to Heaven. Today it's just a day where 90% of the Italian take a short vacation to the sea.

I agree, it isn't correct to say that this festivity is chatolich and related to Blessed Virgin Mary. It was at first a vacation for workers, as the italian article says. This page is at most wrong.
