August 15th, Italian bank holiday, 6:20 in the morning we get the phone call: “is Coworking Grosseto Sud open?” Yes sir, please come in!
As all Italians know, August 15th is bank holiday in our country.
It’s a day called Ferragosto, and everyone celebrates it with family and friends, often with a day out at the beach or wherever you can spend a free day in full Italian summer.
As far as foreign travellers are concerned, this is totally unknown.
So it was kind of normal to receive the request for a day of Coworking on this very day, even though for us it is a holiday: for the person who called us it was just any other monday!
What was not normal, maybe, was the time of the day we received the request by phone: very early in the morning, almost before sunrise: 6:20 am.
