No tourists, big Italian fiestas fill towns
Italian villages rush to festivity with no visitors as citizens celebrate patron saints, pre Lent carnivals, harvest events and local holidays. The author notes crowded squares, bands, confetti, stalls, and a public eager to participate in rituals across towns from Sorrento to Naples. The piece recounts a personal festival walk with daughter Megan and hints at a torchlight procession.
