Cultural Tip
In Italian, days of the week are usually mentioned without an article when they refer to a specific date (e.g., 'per sabato' not 'per il sabato'). However, adding the article can sound more formal or emphasize the day. When buying tickets, Italians often confirm the date and the event together, so repeating 'per sabato' helps avoid misunderstandings.
