Hello! My fiance and I are going to be traveling to Italy from August 4-14. We know this isn't the ideal time of year, but this will be our only opportunity for this trip for a while due to school.

Our rough itinerary is:

August 4-9: Rome

August 10-14: Naples + day trip to Pompeii

We were wondering how much Ferragasto will affect our options for smaller restaurants and stores. We both really enjoy vintage shopping and trying local foods, so how much should we temper our expectations for our trip? I have gotten mixed reports on how much earlier August is affected vs late August (before or after the holiday on the 15th).

Thank you so much!
