September in Italy
Sunday August 24, 2008
As tourist crowds thin out and temperatures start cooling down, September makes a nice time to travel in Italy. Marking the end of summer vacation, many festivals are held in Italy the first weekend of September. You'll find events ranging from medieval festivals and donkey races to Venice's historic regatta and film festival. September 7 is the Feast of Rificolona in Tuscany, said to be one of the oldest festivals in Florence.
Festivals later in September include Juliette's birthday, a celebration of the liquefying of San Gennaro's blood in Naples, and the popular Feast Day of San Michele, celebrated many places in Italy.

What wonderful festivals, and it does totally sounds like the ideal time to visit, *sigh*.
September is a lovely month in most parts of Italy. It’s warm during the day, cooler at night, uncrowded and sunny. There are still some mosquitoes, but no school field trips (that’s April - you trade students for mosquitoes). September is the perfect month to experience Italy, I think.
