The woman was American, a famous model in the 50s, and the husband Italian. They had one child, rather a brat, but he was the only grandchild, born on the same day as his Italian grandfather. So you can imagine. They had a house across the street from the beach, a cabana, and it was wonderful. I was treated more like a member of the family. On Ferragosto, we had a big family get-together. Ah, the wonderful memories.Polly Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729656119287702191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-2210520177149647472012-08-17T14:38:41.723+02:002012-08-17T14:38:41.723+02:00Suzanne, I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

On the other hand, there are fewer crowds and less traffic.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-87909177183045186832012-08-17T14:29:33.771+02:002012-08-17T14:29:33.771+02:00What a fun post!

I don't have a drop of Italian blood in me, but your description of the holiday made me wish I could beam over to Italy for next year's Ferragosto.

In years past, if people didn't have a place to go for Ferragosto, they hid at home so that no one would know they were alone.<br />Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-15777096877570489752012-08-16T18:16:57.927+02:002012-08-16T18:16:57.927+02:00Thanks for the history on this fabulous holiday, P...Thanks for the history on this fabulous holiday, Patricia.<br /><br />We've been celebrating it with a big outdoor summer Italian feast and a bunch of friends for a couple of years, ever since we saw the delightful movie "Mid-August Lunch." Had to skip it this year, what with moving and getting two books out, but next year for sure. Not bad for a couple of Scottish-Irish types with not a drop of Italian blood!Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.com
