June is a great month to visit Italy. It is the high season and the country will be crowded with Italian and international visitors, but it is not normally as hot as July and August.

For those who want to experience the history and culture beyond visiting monuments and museums, Italy has a long list of events for all to enjoy. June is an important month for Italians and is sometimes referred to as the “Mese della Libertà” (Liberation Month). On June 2 Italians will celebrate la Festa della Repubblica.
