I haven't seen anything advertising any festa's, but, as Alan says, head for your nearest Irish Bar.:D

Kids excited and getting ready to go on the local parade.
Absolutely freezing here and waiting for the snow to start falling any minute!
Can't wait! :)

With a bit of luck, that might happen here...! Well, in my house anyway! :)
I enjoy it, but I really hate the combination of cold, wind and rain!

one problem... the number 17 is the equivalent of the thirteen in england .... and guess what friday the 17th... already the second one this year is double bad luck.... hopefully none of you are buying your house here today.. any good agent will have advised you of the hazard of doing anything concrete here in italy on such a day as this ... italians if this can be acceptd outside the terms of racism seem to be more superstitious about these things than most ....
