Bocce & Vespas in Salt Lake City
I have to admit, when I think of Salt Lake City, "Italian heritage" isn't the first thing to come to mind. Now I'll have to think differently. Salt Lake recently hosted a 2006 Ferragosto Italian Festival in celebration of the the traditional Ferragosto (Assumption Day) festival held in August in Italy. Besides lots of Italian food and bocce ball games, there was a display of vintage Vespas along with Italian cars. Check out a local news story here, and here's the festival's official site.
