July in Italy

• July weather in Italy is heating up, and on weekends Italians head for the beach in droves. The sagra season is in full swing; weekends are awash in food festivals. If you plan on touring the center and south, air conditioning in your hotel becomes a highly desirable option.
• Great festivals are held in July. Our favorites are Siena's famous Palio on and Matera's Festa della Madonna Bruna, both on July 2, and L'Ardia di San Costantino in Sedilo, Sardinia on July July 6 and 7.
• See July in Italy for more on these and other July Festivals.
