During the long, hot Italian summer the schools close for almost three months of vacanze estive (summer vacation). Italian students are on vacation from mid June to mid September. In August many factories and offices also close, leaving the major cities practically deserted. Early August sees the esodo (exodus) from the major cities while at the end of August comes the controesodo (return). This leads to long lines of traffic on the superhighways and especially at the tollgates.
