Staring on Ascension Sunday (May 24th) in Parco delle Cascine, the event focuses on the traditional notion of the crickets bringing good luck, which was once expressed in the May festival of Candelmaggio, where young men gave the insects to their loved ones to bring a household good fortune.
This entomological entertainment could add to the interest Italy property buyers may have in buying in the Tuscany region.
Other events that can provide entertainment for those lucky enough to buy a property there include the Barchini Boat Race, held each May in the village of that name.
This event is unusual in that the three participating teams, each representing a district of the town, see little water as they wheel the vessels around the street course.
