Florence Under the Holiday Lights

Natale (Christmas) is quickly approaching here in Italy, and things are beginning to look like it. All around the city, decorations are beginning to pop up in store windows and residences alike. However, there is more to it..

City workers have placed small fur trees all along a couple main streets, with twinkling lights on them, and have had their ladders out and are stringing lights between nearly all of the thinner streets! Everything from regular strings of lights to lights clumped together in huge icicle shapes, and also in large spheres, as featured in the photo. Walking around in the evening it is really beautiful and fun to see.
