The Festa Antica annually celebrated in Aleria (which is on the east coast) falls in mid-August as well. This is a real opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the Ancient World. People dressed in togas walk along the central streets of the city, sounds associated with ancient times are heard everywhere. The festival is joined by restaurants and cafes where at that time guests can taste exclusively Roman dishes. Besides, a fair opens to offer the audience unique hand-made products. The beginning of September in Niolo (Upper Corsica) is marked by holding another interesting fair. At this time they also organize poetry events and contests, which would be of interest to connoisseurs of literature.
