Italy has a rich tradition of festivals, from religious celebrations to local sagre (food festivals).
In this lesson, you'll learn vocabulary for Italian celebrations and cultural events.
You'll also practice using the imperfetto and passato prossimo to narrate past celebrations.
Italy's most famous celebration is Carnevale, especially in Venice with its elaborate masks. Every town has its own patron saint festival (festa del patrono), and sagre celebrate local food — truffle festivals, wine festivals, and more!
