(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 13 - One in two Italians (50%) has decided to spend Ferragosto away from home by traveling to reach relatives or friends, go on holiday to the sea, in the countryside and in the mountains or to take a simple trip perhaps with the traditional picnic, despite the concern for bad weather.

This is what emerges from a Coldiretti / Ixè survey disclosed on the occasion of the black sticker weekend on the Italian roads for the departures of the "New Year" of the summer, even if there is 24% of citizens who say they spend it at home to remarry while for another 25% it is a day like any other.

The Ferragosto - underlines Coldiretti - remains, however, the highlight of the Italian holidays, with 22 million tourists who this

year they chose to concentrate the holidays in August despite concerns about rising inflation and the difficult international situation with the war in Ukraine.

There is a clear preference on national destinations - continues Coldiretti - driven by a greater proximity to the places of residence, by the desire to rediscover the beauties of Italy or by the desire to return to places already known.

But - explains Coldiretti - there is also a 23% share of Italians, almost 1 in 4 among those who travel, who have decided to spend a holiday abroad despite fears related to the difficult international situation, costs and inconveniences in air transport.

If the sea with the heat confirms itself at the top of the ranking of your favorite,

countryside and natural parks contend with the mountain for second place but - notes Coldiretti - also the cities of art, taken by assault especially by foreigners, are recovering land.

Particularly appreciated are also the alternative choices to get to know - underlines Coldiretti - a so-called "minor" Italy with as many as 70%% of Italians on vacation declare to visit the small villages maybe even just with a day trip.

The majority of Italians traveling - Coldiretti reports - have chosen to stay in their own homes;

the hotel is recovering, which places itself in front of the bed and breakfasts but in the ranking of highly-popular preferences are also the 25 thousand agritourisms present in Italiaspinti according to Terranostra and Campagna Amica from the search for more sustainable tourism.
