WHERE TO GO WHEN
The month of August is the month of holiday for Italians. August is the month to enjoy the cities of art, in small towns, on the beaches or in the cool of the mountains. Italy Creative recommends a tour in the cities of art and in smaller centers to attend local and unique events. Charter a yacht and discover the thrill of live Italy from the sea! Sardinia, Sicily, Amalfi Coast, Romagna, Puglia, Liguria are waiting to be discovered. You can also combine the holiday with an event even more special as the wedding by choosing from the wonderful locations that are located in Italy.
