Such wonderful information and images! So glad that Aria participated in the events, too. Brought back many memories of growing up in my northwest Denver community of Italian immigrants. Our August celebrations to honor St. Rocco were also magnificent. Festa on!
Another magical capture of life in Italy! Thank you, Cheryl. It's as impossible to talk about "Italian history" as it is to discuss, "Italian food." All cuisine is local, and all history is local history. I really appreciate you sharing these experiences. What a treasure!
What a beautiful little history. And the pictures! I'm wondering: Do a lot people have dogs there? Love you pup. But it got me thinking: When I visited, I don't remember seeing lots of dogs. At least, nothing close to the amount of dogs you see here, especially in cities.
How fantastic! I love hearing how much the small group has done to improve your neighborhood. By the way, did a neighbor take care of aria while you were gone?
Thank you for the introduction to Tim Park.  I’m putting that book on my must read list (sadly I know so little about Garibaldi ) and his other books look good as well. 
Thanks for bringing me into Italy today with your colorful story of this fiesta !
