Italy in August?

[Thomas M Lesko <tmlesko@domain.elided>]

Can someone give me some "tourist" information about Italy in the month
of August? Weather? Vacations-closings (Alfa Museum) Rent an Alfa?
Basically what is like in August, is it an OK time to go or not.
Northern vs Southern Italy. Reply off digest since this is "barely "Alfa
related.

thanks
