They make a very good attempt here in Spain, public holidays are plentiful. Not much drunken behaviour though, except in the ex-pat areas.
rusty_knight: Yesterday was a public holiday in Malta.
A public holiday to celebrate the end of British rule.
Unfair!
Why not one to celebrate kicking out the French, Italians, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Aye_Rabs,Knights of Malta (oh, maybe they never left!)etc etc etc? - we could then have several more public holidays here then!

Ah, Sicily. I understand there are gorgeous beaches there!
Anyway, I digress for a moment...
It's funny how even though Italy (eventually) became unified, Italians have never quite got the hang of what that actually means. People still refer to so and so, La Toscana (the Tuscan (woman)), or il Siciliano (the Sicilian), or l'Abbruzzesa (the woman for the Abbruzzo region) and so on. One is never purely an Italian it seems. And in general, anyone from Sicily and in particular, Calabria, is not really regarded as being Italian. Try having a conversation with someone from Calabria. Chances are, if you were an Italian, they might as well be speaking Mandarin! (my son has friends were originally from that region. Have absolutely NO IDEA what on earth they are saying when they speak what to them, is 'Italian'!
