  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Bron ↗

  Porcini, truffle and new oil

  The nebbia settles on the plain for days at a time and takes the hills, the airport slots and the view from the Asinelli tower with it. The porticoes are the reason the city still works in it.
