Liberation Day

April 25th, is a national holiday here in Italy.  The day is Italy’s ‘Liberation Day’ (Festa della Liberazione) and commemorates the fall of Mussolini and the end of Nazi occupation of the country during World War II and honours those who served in the Italian resistance. We were told that everywhere is shut today although we can hear the restaurant below setting out tables in the street below.

And I am sure you will be pleased to know that it is not only Britain that has wet Bank Holidays: we have had pouring rain and thunderstorms for two days.
