Notte di Fiaba
Frank Sinatra’s “Young at Heart,” reminds us that Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you If you’re young at heart. Riva del Garda must have a very young heart, because they transform the entire town into a fairy tale with their annual Notte di Fiaba (Fairy Tale Night). For over 60 years, to celebrate the end of summer, this town located on the northern tip of Lake Garda sprinkles some pixie dust and magically turns this lake side resort into a fairy land straight out of a Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen or Carlo Collodi story.

Back to School in Italy
School is different in Italy. During the summer in the United States families are pummeled with ads for school supplies, clothing, and stuff for making quick brown bag lunches. In Italy, people consider the summer, especially August with its vacation days and Ferragosto celebration, magical. No one would take that away from children (or adults for that matter) with reminders of the impending school year. It would be sacrilege.
