Italy in September

September in Italy is one of the best months for tourism. When the weather is still warm, and most vacationers leave the Apennines to return to workdays, excellent conditions are created for the rest to get the most out of the trip.

Weather in Italy in September

By the end of August, Italy, as a rule, goes through a peak of temperatures, and this means that September will present both hot days and cool pleasant nights. In the second half of the month, autumn begins to feel more and more, now it is no longer a rarity to get under a real thunderstorm - with thunder and lightning.

While August is the month of holidays for most Italians, September is the time when adults return to work, children go to school, business enters its normal course, and shops and shops return to normal working hours. In addition, the mass migration of Italians from coastal cities creates additional benefits for lovers of sunbathing: in September, competition for sunbeds on the beaches is significantly lower, and the sun allows you to sunbathe no worse than in August.

Temperature in Italy in September rarely breaks the peaks of the summer months, so the weather is perfect for lovers to wander the streets of medieval cities and touch the ancient history.

Although nominally September is already outside the peak season, you should not expect that a visit to Apenin will cost much cheaper - prices in most of Italy, as a rule, remain at the August level, as an example, Tuscany. By the end of the month, prices in the south of the country begin to fall significantly faster than in the north, although the thermometer is still at high levels.

Temperature in Italy in September to a large extent depends on the region of residence and may fluctuate, for example:

Temperature in Rome in September: + 20-27С
Temperature in Venice and Milan in September: + 18-27С
Temperature in Naples in September: + 22-29С

Holidays in September

Although there are no national holidays on the Italian calendar in September, some local events and festivals deserve to be noticed.

Historic Regatta in Venice (Regatta Storica) is an event traditional for the beginning of September and is a boat race along the Grand Canal. The regatta traditionally attracts residents of the surrounding area to the city and may be associated with certain transport inconveniences. But, frankly, this is more of a plus than a minus, especially if your trip to Venice coincides in date with the time of the event.

Even the sky in September looks different in Italy

Another Venetian event, which traditionally falls on the end of August and the beginning of September, is International Venice Film Festival. The event may be interesting to those who are a lover of watching the stars live. And, if you belong to this glorious cohort, feel free to put the island of Lido on the map of your stay.

Of the remarkable September events in the south of Italy, it is worth taking a closer look at Naples. Celebrations dedicated to Saint Yanurius - the patron saint of Naples - usually last for a week and are full of events related to the figure of the Saint.

Due to the fact that September is a harvesting month, it opens the season of gastronomic festivals in Italy. The calendar of each more or less significant Italian city is full of events and holidays dedicated to truffles, Prosciutto, etc.

Even if the itinerary in Italy runs away from Naples or Venice, BlogoItaliano recommends visiting the tourist office in the city where you stay, there you will receive first-hand information on all planned events.

Summary

Even if you are not a big fan of Italian cuisine, a visit to this country in September can make your own adjustments to your tastes. The attitude of Italians towards food is only comparable with that of religion, with the only difference being that harvest festivals are often more fun.

But, even if we take the gastronomic theme out of the decision-making on the trip, September, with its weather and fewer tourists, can only be compared with May. The only difference is the temperature of the water in the sea - it is much warmer and more comfortable. And, although prices in September remain the same as in the “high” season, however, everyone pays for the upcoming impressions.

Camposanto Cemetery - the fourth miracle of Pisa

Camposanto Cemetery, known simultaneously as the Monumental (Camposanto Monumentale), or the Old Cemetery (Camposanto Vecchio), is located in the northern part of Piazza Miracle. The name “Camposanto” is literally translated from Italian as “holy field”. This is due to the widespread belief that the cemetery was erected around the capsule with the sacred land from Calvary, brought by the 12th century archbishop of Pisa - Ubaldo d'Lanfranci - from the Fourth Crusade.
