🤔 Why Italy completely Shuts downs in August? (It’s hilarious😅) #travelitaly #august
If you’re in Italy in August, brace yourself. Because sorry, we’re closed isn’t just a sign, it’s a lifestyle. Here’s why everyone vanishes. Every August, Italians basically put a gone to the beach sign on the whole country. Shops closed, offices, deserted, grandma’s bakery. Forget it. It’s called Ferraosto. The national excuse to escape work and roast under the sun. Locals head to the coast, the mountains, anywhere but their job. It’s tradition. It’s sacred. And honestly, it’s genius. So, next time you visit Italy in August, bring your swimsuit and your patience because business hours are on vacation.
Welcome to Italy in August – where the beaches are packed, the offices are empty, and the entire country seems to press the “pause” button.
In this short, we dive into the hilarious truth about Ferragosto, the Italian summer tradition that turns cities into ghost towns and sends everyone to the coast. 🇮🇹☀️
From closed shops to “back in September” signs, here’s why you won’t get ANYTHING done in Italy during August… unless you’re in a tourist hotspot, where best restaurants, gelaterias, and museums are working full speed to welcome tourists from all over the world!

Ok, real talk… would your country survive if everyone took August off?😂😅
Hi this is your new sub….waiting 🎉🎉
That's insane!🤪 How is it even possible?
Little fun fact I've noticed about the video: Look at the street at the beginning of the video, specifically, look at the green satellite antenna on the lower roof: someone spraypainted the face of Jesus on it. It’s taken from Zeffirelli's 1977 movie.
Because of that detail I can tell that specific part of the video was taken in Perugia, in Central Italy.
Bullshit! Everything is closed only during the week of Ferragosto which is on15th August….not all the month….and only in big cities….if you go to the seasise you find everything open!!!!!
We need to do this in the US
Viviamo più a lungo perché troviamo il tempo per rilassarci. A differenza degli americani che si stressano fino alle tombe!! 🤌🤌😏😘
Don't come to Italy on August so we can enjoy it without all the disrespectful and fat tourists
Lucky I’m going in September
I want Ferragosto too😂
Ferragosto forever😎
