Enjoy traditions that are centuries old and a good meal at the Harvest Festivals in rural Italy.

You have an excellent kind of food which is absolutely local for a very little amount of money.

Discover the lively street life of Rome.

Local guides tell us what they enjoy most about living in the Eternal City.

Summer evenings along the Tyber River come, highly recommended.

There is food fair, there is live music, there is a lot of people doing their passejata along the river.

Well also hear what it was like to oppose Soviet control in Budapest in October of

1956. Michael Korta was there. It was a very impressive demonstration of

national feeling that was beyond any question of class profession or education.

We'll take you to Italy from Rome to the countryside and to an eyewitness account of the short-lived Hungarian

revolution. It's in the hour ahead on Travel with Rick Steve's.

It's almost 68 years to the day that a group of college students in Hungary demanded reforms

from its strict communist government.

In a bit, we'll remember the short-lived Hungarian revolution with Michael Korda. The editor-in-chief emeritus

at Simon and Schuster was a student himself at the time and drove from England to

Budapest to witness what was happening. We'll also get an update on what's new in Rome to help to

plan a visit as they spiff things up for the busy Jubilee year ahead. Let's start

today's travel with Rick Steve's looking at the centuries-old celebrations called

SAGRA that pop up all over rural Italy in the fall.

Our tour guide is Mintner Chechilia Botay, who comes to us from Orvieto in Umbria.

Chechilia, thanks for being here.

Thank you for inviting me.
