Ferragosto caps 'golden summer'

(ANSA) - Rome, August 14 - The August 15 'Ferragosto' Feast of the Assumption holiday is set to cap a "golden summer" for tourism in the Belpaese, Italian tourist group Federturismo said Monday.
    There has been a 3% rise in foreign bookings this summer and all-round reservations are set to soar 6% in September, the organisation said, citing a "boom" for camper vans and agriturismi.
    The southern beaches of Puglia, Calabria and Sicily have attracted ever more tourists this year, followed by mountain resorts and art cities, Federturismo said
