		<description><![CDATA[In Umbria, you know spring is in the air when the balestrieri (&#8220;cross-bowers&#8221;) compete in the piazzas seated behind their crossbows, one eye closed, taking aim. La Compagnia Balestrieri di Assisi is integral part of the wondrous pageantry of Assisi&#8217;s early May festival, il Calendimaggio, celebrating spring. I balestrieri gathered in Piazza Santa Chiara recently&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/la-balestra/">(more)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Neapolitan locals will tell you it’s true. In Naples, you can witness two miracles and even ask for a personal miracle. A visit to three churches in the downtown area allow you to judge for yourself. Every Saturday before the first Sunday in May, the blood of San Gennaro (hopefully!) liquefies during a celebratory mass.&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/city-miracles/">(more)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Countless religious customs &#8211; and innumerable processions in particular &#8211; are rooted in medieval street theater. Assisi&#8217;s Holy Thursday and Good Friday traditions are living examples. On Holy Thursday night in the 12th-century San Rufino cathedral, the crucified Christ image is detached from His Cross in the ceremony of the scavigliazione (literally: &#8220;un-ankle-ing&#8221;) and laid&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/medieval-street-theater-move/">(more)</a>]]></description>

Auguri di Pasqua (Easter wishes, pronounced ow-GOO-ree dee PAS-kwa) are exchanged across the board. Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Pasqua, and then Pasquetta (little Easter, on Monday) make this a long holiday weekend, meaning everything closes, which means you won&#8217;t be running into&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/auguri-di-pasqua/">(more)</a>]]></description>

But THE market is called Porta Palazzo, after the area in which it is situated (a few steps away from the Royal Palace), and it is said to be the largest outdoor market in Europe. In reality, a market has been there since&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/porta-palazzo/">(more)</a>]]></description>

However, the second of the two is used for any out-of-the-ordinary maintenance task.

Above her head, fiery red geraniums and hot pink petunias overflow in chromatic profusion from terracotta flower pots hanging on the stone wall of her house.

Celebrated in quite a few countries its tone varies widely, from having a strong emphasis on women&#8217;s political, social, and economic rights at one end of the spectrum, to a celebration more akin to St.Valentine&#8217;s Day at&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/events/festa-delle-donne/">(more)</a>]]></description>
