Planning a trip to Italy in August? You’ve probably heard the rumours: everything closes, everyone leaves, and you’ll be stuck in a ghost town.
In this episode of Italian Summer Shorts, I break down what really happens in August. What closes, what stays open, and how to plan around it without stress.
We’ll talk about:
– Why do so many Italians take time off in August
– What “chiuso per ferie” really means
– How closures vary by region and town size
– Tips for finding food, shopping, and transport
Whether you’re coming for the beach, the cities, or the quiet countryside, this episode will help you feel prepared—and avoid surprises.
