Ferragosto is the popular Italian name of the public holiday of the Catholic feast of the Assumption of Mary celebrated on 15 August.

It originates from Feriae Augusti, the festival of Emperor Augustus, who made 1 August a day of rest after weeks of hard work on the agricultural sector.

It became a custom for the workers to wish their employers buon Ferragosto and receive a monetary bonus in return. This became law during the Roman Renaissance throughout the Papal States. As the festivity was created for political reasons, the Catholic Church decided to move the festivity to 15 August, which is the Assumption of Mary allowing them to include this in the festivity.

Paolo Maldini has officially accepted the role of Technical Director of the FIGC and President of Club Italia, a position that has never existed in Italian football history.

The appointment comes under new FIGC president Giovanni Malagò, with former Milan teammate Leonardo joining as advisor. Maldini’s new role gives him oversight of the entire national team program, both the senior Azzurri and Italy’s youth teams, as the country looks to rebuild after missing the last two World Cups.

Five European Cups as a player. Now shaping the next generation of Italian football from the top.

Auguri, Paolo!

On this day in 2006, Italy defeated France 5-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw following extra time to win the FIFA World Cup. 🏆

Fabio Grosso converted the decisive penalty, and captain Fabio Cannavaro lifted the trophy as Italy captured its fourth World Cup title, and its first since 1982.

Twenty years later, the Azzurri’s triumph in Berlin remains one of the greatest moments in Italian football history. 💙⚽🇮🇹
