Many tourists on the beach in Lignano for Ferragosto
Despite the rain of the previous days and the hazardous weather forecast, the day of Ferragosto the beach of Lignano was completely full. The sun was not so present in these days, but since the morning of Ferragosto shone it on the golden beach and warmed the air.
Tourists staying in hotels and apartments in Lignano were finally able to leave their accommodations and jump immediately to the beach to spend the most important day of summer, the Ferragosto (Assumption), with parties and dinners under the beach umbrella. Children and adults overflowed the sea, despite the water was not so hot…but when you are on holiday at the beach, you must go for a dip and swim! With the passing of the hours, the beach filled up more and more, thanks also to the commuters, who flooded in Lignano since the early afternoon because the good weather and the show of Frecce Tricolori (Tricolour Arrows).
The air show of Ferragosto Viva Lignano 2010 was successful: about 100.000 people from the beach and many others from the terraces of the apartments of apartment blocks in Lignano Sabbiadoro watched the show of Frecce Tricolori.
