Stormy weather

Stormy weather on ferragosto (Assumption Day) in Piemonte, ... a tragedy for many Italians because they all want to do an outside activity that day.
For us just another beautiful moment, see it for yourself:

Cairo Medievale

Cairo Montenotte is a municipality in the province of Savona in the Italian region of Liguria, located about 50 km west of Genoa and about 20 km northwest of Savona.

Every year there are Medieval festivities in the historic centre of Cairo Montenotte.
We went to the last evening where they held very beautiful fire works.

Festa patronale di San Fermo

Once a year, on the 8th of August, my little village in Italy hosts the annual 'Festa patronale di San Fermo'.

Tradizionale fiera bovina di San Desiderio

Every last sunday of july there's a cow market at the little village San Desiderio (Monastero Bormida). I believe there where more cows than people.

Afterwards we took the car to drive through the hills and saw beautiful landscapes and little villages.
