If you have not chosen the destination for your holiday yet, and you wish to visit a nice Italian town, Cassino is the place you are looking for.
Visiting Cassino in summer means taking part in many different events, fit for all ages and tastes. Visitors are really spoilt for choice: you can choose among religious, cultural, music and folkloristic events, which are held throughout summer. The main events of June are religious feasts: the Feast of St Anthony, the Feast of St John the Baptist and the Feast of St Peter and St Paul. The Feast of Saint Anthony is held on the 13th of June, the day consecrated to the saint of Padua since 1232, but celebrations start some days before and include many events: pilgrims and believers never miss the mass and the procession, but also all the other people who are in Cassino in those days like to take part in these events and enjoy the wonderful fireworks and the performances of music bands. The celebrations in honour of St John the Baptist are held on the 24th of June, and remind us of the dedication of the Abbey of Montecassino to the saint. On the 29th of June the city celebrates the saints Peter and Paul. Saint Peter was very important for the city, and according to the legend it was the first person to spread the word of the gospel in Cassino. Another important religious feast that takes place in Cassino in summer is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (on the 14th - 15th of August). Do not miss the crowning of the Virgin Mary on the 14th of August, when the statues of the Virgin and of Child Jesus are brought in procession. After the procession, the Abbot crowns the statue of the Virgin.
In addition to these important, religious events, the city in summer offers much more: if you love music, especially if you have a passion for Jazz, you cannot miss Cassino Jazz, which is part of Atina Jazz, one of the most important Jazz festivals in Italy, which is hold in a nearby city (Atina).
