- August 15 is a statutory holiday in Italy. This is the day on which Jesus' mother Mary was taken up into heaven and it is popularly known as Ferragosto (the height of August). Around the 15th, most Italians go on vacation, leaving the major Italian cities almost empty of people or populated almost exclusively by tourists.

- During the long, hot Italian summer the schools close for almost three months of vacanze estive (summer vacation). Italian students are on vacation from mid June to mid September. In August many factories and offices also close, leaving the major cities practically deserted. Early August sees the esodo (exodus) from the major cities while at the end of August comes the controesodo (return). This leads to long lines of traffic on the superhighways and especially at the tollgates.

- The Palio is a horse race that is run in a number of Italian cities. The best known is the Palio di Siena .

Ten of the city's seventeen contrade (districts) take part; the winner is the first horse to pass the winning post, whether it still has a rider or not. Before the race there is a procession with members of the various districts dressed in historical costumes.
