The biggest part of August is already behind us, but the Tuscan summer continues with lots of sunshine and a varied program of events to attend this week. Folklore in Montepulciano with the traditional up-hill barrel race, the Midsummer festival in Cutigliano with music, food, and entertainment, a refreshing beer at the September Fest in Carrara, Music and Food at the Impruneta GO! Festival and the traditional archery competition Palio di Pescia.
Although August is the month that most Italians leave the cities to spend some time al mare, there is still plenty left to do for those left behind.
