“You fish, swim, eat, laze around, and everyone’s so friendly. It’s such simple stuff, but… If I could stop the world and restart life, put the clock back, I think I’d restart it like this. For everyone.”
If you live in Italy, when the first days of August come and the thermometer reaches around 35 degrees, you can see everything slow down. The cities are emptied and life becomes a sort of a slow motion movie. Everyone moves to the beach. Some may search for quiet, remote, tiny places far from the hustle and bustle of pompous seaside resorts, while others enjoy populating those towns that in winter are as deserted as Alaska, but in the summer appear to become centre of the universe.
Even though probably the only thing on your mind may be just the beach and the sea, the summer can also become the perfect occasion to catch up with all those things you have missed doing throughout the year. This is why, for these lazy summer days, we have tried to compile a list of things for you to do. From the books to read to festivals to attend, from designers to visit in their creative hubs to fashion exhibitions you should see to catch up with your style, from places to visit to food you should share with someone you really like, The Blogazine’s gift for your summer vacations is a compendium of curiosities and hidden treasures. We hope you enjoy it!
