Back to School in Italy
In Italy, people consider the summer, especially August with its vacation days and Ferragosto celebration, magical.

Despite this, however, the kids do have summer homework that is not for the faint of heart. Somehow, though, the students still manage to spend their days on the beach without a care in the world, and they get their homework done, too, even if it’s completed as they walk into school on the first day back.
