Are You Ready for the Gita Italiana 2010?

You are cordially invited to Bleeding Espresso’s Gita Italiana 2010!

For those who don’t know, many Italians go on vacation during the month of August, and they often end up in various places around the Bel Paese. In celebration of Ferragosto, Bleeding Espresso’s gita (trip) will run from August 16th to the 31st (except Mondays when we’ll have Italian-themed book giveaways), and is especially for those of you who can’t get away for a tour of Italy. Some of my favorite people have kindly contributed posts about their respective areas and will be featured here, so be sure to come back every day for a bit of a virtual holiday to close out the summer.

What: Gita Italiana 2010
Where: Bleeding Espresso
When: August 16-31, 2010

Along the way we’ll have stops in the Aeolian Islands, Sardinia, Venice, Assisi, Piemonte, and many more places, so I hope to see you there (here)!
