Today is a holiday in Italy. All Saints Day -- a day to celebrate saints (known, and unknown; living, and dead). Church bells have been pealing all morning.
All Saints is the middle of a series of three religious days. October 31 is All Hallows Evening (from where we in the US get Halloween). November 1 is All Saints Day. And November 2 is All Souls Day (celebrating the Faithful Dead -- but apparently not the downright evil dead, or even the lapsed Catholic dead).
At any rate, I'm off work today, banks and stores are closed today. I think people are supposed to go to church -- not sure if that really happens because everyone is at home cooking for their big autumn foods feast.
I'm hoping if I stroll into the touristy part of town some non-Catholics will be serving food!
Where can a Protestant eat in this town???!!!
