Christmas in Italy
In Italy, the
Christmas season is a wonderful mixture of breathtaking sights, tantalizing
smells, and captivating sounds. Travel with us ...
Imagine
strolling through the Christmas markets, mingling with the people, and sampling
the incredible food. Piazzas in every town are filled with wonderful
crafts and gifts, and the smell of roasted chestnuts “castagne” lingers in the
air. The colorful array of beautiful seasonal flowers and rich garlands
adorn the glorious architecture.
Whether you
are at a palatial villa on LakeComo with a view of Alps, in Firenze decked in
all its renaissance glory, at a Tuscan farm house in Chianti, in Piazza Navona
viewing the amazing Nativity scene, or in the south enjoying a traditional Yule
Log, one thing holds true. The Christmas magic is everywhere. Our
journey continues as we head north bringing us back for the glorious finale
with Christmas in Rome! What a trip we have had … the architecture, the
history, the beauty. So please raise a glass of prosecco and join
us as we celebrate Christmas in Italy!
Those of us
raised in the Santa ClaraValley have been blessed with a wonderful Italian
influence. Who doesn’t remember all the Italian cookies, panettone,
ravioli, and all the special food we love to share over the Christmas
holidays? Christmas Eve, the beautiful flowers, the smell of fresh trees
… all of this means Christmas for so many of us, Italian or not. As we
enter into another holiday season, remember what truly matters … the love of
family and friends of every nationality, good health, and the joy that brings
us all.
