Ferragosto 15 August

Ferragosto is a typical Italian holiday
It is a mix of religious and fun. The Christian religion celebrates this day to remember Mary's body ascending into heaven.
Also, inthe 18th century BC a Roman Emperor called Ottaviano Augusto instituted this holiday calling Ferragosto bythe Latin name Feriae Augusti (Augusto's rest)
On this day, people go to the sea at night, they eat on the beach and stay there to sleep.
