Sanremo beyond the summer

Forget the famous Italian Song Festival for a moment. Forget the sunny beaches and summer nightlife.

November 2nd Markets: a very Italian tradition

November 2nd Markets: a very Italian tradition

Every year in Italy, the great debate erupts: Halloween or All Saints’ Day? American pumpkins or our traditional “sweets of the Dead Souls”?
