This is the August vacations week, a tradition that dates back to ancient times when Consus, the god of tilling was celebrated in Rome. It was during the celebrations dedicated to this god that the Council of the Sabines came into being, whilst the Catholic Church was celebrating the Ascension to heaven of Mary during this mid-August period. Every region of Italy has its own Ferragosto dish - duck in Lombardy, rice boule in Piacenza and rice dumplings in Sicily.
