it's hard to say b.c it depends on where u want to go. i.e. i hear that rome can be nice in august b.c it's usually swamped with tourists throughout the year, and august is considered a quiet time for romans. however if u go to beachside locations like naples, the beaches will be packed ear to ear; and prices on hotels, flights will go up. keep in mind that generally in august that the cities will be deserted and the beaches will be packed. also with this recession this year, things are hard to say, b.c i heard that there weren't as many tourists in tuscany this year as there used to be, so now might be a good time to find good deals. it really varies from location to location; perhaps your travel agent might know better.
Italy in August my wife and i have vacation time in august, she is concerned that there will be no shopping, no wine tours in siena, etc. should we miss out on Italy because of Italians vacationing in August?
