ferragosto

August 15 is a statutory holiday in Italy. This is the day on which Jesus' mother Mary was taken up into heaven and it is popularly known as Ferragosto (the height of August). Around the 15th, most Italians go on vacation, leaving the major Italian cities almost empty of people or populated almost exclusively by tourists.

a -i ugs (per poco)

almost

tra vitto e alloggio ho speso quasi tutto

università

Italian universities (università), are divided into a number of different faculties (facoltà). The course of study ends with the award of the laurea . The first European university was the scuola salernitana , the medical school founded in Salerno in the 11th century. The universities of Bologna, Padua and, Naples are almost equally ancient.

treno

There are various types of trains in Italy. Local train services are provided either by Locali , which stop at almost every station, Interregionali , which link places in different regions, often tourist centers - these may run only on weekends or at certain times of the year - or Diretti , which travel both within and between regions and are generally faster than Locali . Express trains can be either Intercity , linking almost all Italian cities, or Eurostar , which serve only the most important cities. Travel on both these types of trains is subject to payment of a supplemental fare.

vacanza

During the long, hot Italian summer the schools close for almost three months of vacanze estive (summer vacation). Italian students are on vacation from mid June to mid September. In August many factories and offices also close, leaving the major cities practically deserted. Early August sees the esodo (exodus) from the major cities while at the end of August comes the controesodo (return). This leads to long lines of traffic on the superhighways and especially at the tollgates.

calcio

Calcio (soccer) is the most popular sport in Italy. The teams in Serie A (the top league) have competed for the scudetto (trophy) since 1898. Italians are wellknown for being soccer-crazy. Soccer is simply a part of life all over the Peninsula, with its own rigid customs and rituals, whether one plays the game or is simply a spectator or supporter. The greatest Italian players are known throughout the world. What foreigners are often not aware of is the Sunday afternoon rituals of the mondo del calcio , the soccer world. Those with an abbonamento (season ticket) go to the stadium almost every Sunday to support their favorite team. If one is out and about, one must at least carry a radio in order to follow the half-time and final results. On Sunday evening, soccer mania rules on all possible TV channels, but the same goes for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and sometimes Thursday evenings too. Every single game will be dissected and every detail examined and analyzed.
