English term or phrase: hot-air balloon
I'm trying to do a Web search on ballooning outside Rome (going there for the first time in Sept). Haven't found anything in English so would like to expand my search to Italian Web sites.

mongolfiera
Explanation:
Una mongolfiera colorata, alta dai 25 ai 40 metri, in volo libero o vincolato, non passa mai inosservata. E oltre all’eccezionale bellezza, garantisce un’elevata affidabilità e sicurezza grazie alle nuove tecnologie costruttive. Queste caratteristiche la rendono ideale per un uso ludico e pubblicitario. Sport Promotion, grazie alla partnership con la più prestigiosa azienda europea produttrice di aeromobili, è in grado di realizzare mongolfiere di qualsiasi colore, dimensione e forme, riproducendo loghi o prodotti da promuovere. L'azienda ha inoltre una grande esperienza nell'organizzazione di eventi, sportivi, culturali o di altro genere, che prevedono l'impiego delle mongolfiere pubblicitarie.

Thank you everyone for your quick replies. Liliana, yes, I saw that but it's not exactly what I was looking for. This one is tied to the ground and doesn't go anywhere ;-)

Mongolfiera / Pallone Aerostatico


Explanation:
It's a device composed of a huge thin and resilient container made of tissue , to which a kind of big "basket" is tied . People take their place on the basket on which , on its turn, a device producing a flame is mounted. The flame heats the air and makes it lighter so that it can fill the tissue container blowing it up.
Consequently all the vehicle (inflated balloon + basket) can fly .
