Every summer on Palermo’s Mondello beach, over one thousand cabins are built ready to host the many families who will spend the summer holidays there. For them, the beach huts provide the perfect position to hide behind the memory of a social status compromised by the crisis of recent years. All of them are looking forward to Ferragosto, the Italian public holiday of August 15 for the Catholic feast of the Assumption of Mary, when they will continue to pretend the economic crisis doesn’t exist.
